The Children’s Program of the Festival has been created on an inclusive basis—the viewer-friendly approach of the films in the program, with their positive outlook on disability will make enjoyable viewing for both disabled and non-disabled visitors.
The screenings will be held as part of GARAGE Family Day with all films dubbed into Russian.
