We, the organizers of Northern Character International Film Festival, invite filmmakers and journalists from different countries to submit their creative projects to the competition program. The North has always attracted adventurers and romantics. Like a magnet, the Polar Region is still attracting and keeping us with its unique nature, incredibly brave and open people. It is important for us that the films tell the viewers about being careful with the fragile ecosystems of the Arctic, the stories and lives of the indigenous peoples of the North living in harmony with nature.

We show films of various genres, shot in the North or by northern directors, covering a wide range of topics: from history to present, from the search for meaning to choosing your place in life. We welcome films from all over the world that tell about the national characteristics of the peoples inhabiting our planet. We will be glad to see films on social topics, for example, revealing the relationship between generations, as well as films about the youth problems.

Northern Character International Film Festival is organised by Norther Character Production Center with the support of the Presidential foundation for cultural initiatives, Ministry of culture of Russia, Government of Murmansk region.

The festival is organised by a team of enthusiasts and professionals. People of different professions are united by the desire to arrange one of the largest film forums in the European North at the highest level, to show the Murmansk region as one of the most successful cinematographic locations of Russia.
