VKRATZE! Days of Russian and German short films were established in Volgograd Region in 2013, thanks to international cooperation of several cultural actors: the Agency for Cultural Initiatives, participants of “Cultural Managers in the Russian Federation” program by the Robert Bosch Foundation and the Goethe Institute Anne-Kathrin Topp, Barbara Anna Bernsmeier and other partners. Our project goes on for 8 years, adopting new formats and becoming the point of attraction for regional creators as well as the platform for filmmakers, video artists and festivals from Russia, Germany and the rest of the world. Festival screenings took place at Spinnerei youth culture center in Munich (2014) and in numerous Russian cities. Since 2018, VKRATZE! focuses on providing education platforms for children and film education platforms for Volgograd audience. In 2019, in Cooperation with Young Talents Foundation and under support of the Presidential Grants Fund, the project evolved into an international film festival, a large-scale cultural and educational project for local communities and filmmakers from many countries.
