“The film festival justified the hopes placed on it and was held at a high course. All looked professional, the level of the films entered the competition are very high. The jury members are  amazing. Everything is only positive.” Lawrence David Foldes – Director/Producer/Executive Committee Member of the Student Academy Awards, USA

“It seems to me extremely important that the work of Russian-British cinema is being carried out on the difficult stages of Sochi and London. Holding events in the key central British venues, in the heart of Europe and the entire Western world, is a particularly difficult task. But the SIFFA team succeeds!” Sergey Novozhilov – International Film Festival Amur Autumn President

“This is a great concept. I have worked at the largest film festivals in Russia this year, but your film festival has become one of the best. Lived up to my hopes. Both in content and in style, it corresponded to the best examples of world film festivals.” Vera Glagoleva – First Chair of SIFFA-2016, People’s Artist of Russia, Film Director, Member of the European Film Academy
