Greetings to participants of the 20th Minsk International Film Festival Listapad

Dear friends,

I send my cordial greetings to the participants and guests of the 20th Minsk International Film Festival Listapad.

Over the past decades Listapad turned from the forum of the CIS and Baltic countries into one of the biggest European cultural campaigns, the festival of festivals which showcases the best global premiers in Belarus. It always fulfils its mission to strengthen accord and mutual understanding between nations with the help of art, helps promote ideals of spirituality and humanism in the society. The growing number of people that the festival brings together every year testifies to fact that this honorable ambition resonates in the hearts of cinema fans.

This year’s anniversary Listapad is a genuine holiday which presents a wide range of modern films. Its agenda includes joyful meetings with outstanding masters and budding stars of global cinema.

Let our favorite festival preserve glorious traditions and remain open for bright experiments and innovative ideas making a great contribution to the development of international cultural cooperation.

I wish you strong health, unflagging creative energy, unforgettable films, interesting discussions and wonderful mood.

Aleksandr Lukashenko
