Animation is a world where nothing is impossible. It means that animation could be applied to any private / professional life sphere. That is why we put ahead a challenging task to investigate connection of animation and different professions. That is why we start to talk about “Это (ˈɛtə)”
Our animation festival “Это (ˈɛtə)” is about searching of animation language out of screen, but in subjects, professions. So you would be not just a viewer, but will directly participate in its creation.

Our festival is about searching of animation language out of screen, but in subjects, professions.
Language allows us to speak, have dialogue; same with an animation - it is communication between people, between filmmakers’ inward and viewers’ one; between one integrated world and traditional groups; between idea and perception; between profession and art.
Animation it is not just hard uniquely work for narrow circle of professionals and animation goers, it is an opportunity of direct dialogue with one or another subject expert group or profession.
