Competitive films of various types and themes, presented by students of the Kiev National University of Technology and Design, demonstrated the skill and professionalism of their authors in choosing the theme and means of its on-screen embodiment, as evidenced by the movie posters developed by the authors themselves and provided by the authors.

Dmitry Gubenko’s documentary “Hedonism” offered a philosophical reflection on the pleasure and joy that the process of processing wood and creating an artistic product brings.

Educational video “Calendar.  Design Approach” in the form of a lecture by Vlog Valentina Rodina spoke about design passions during the creation of the wall calendar using augmented reality and the peculiarities of the author's embodiment of the design plan.

Animated trailer for “The Witch Sue.  Magic crystals”, to a computer game invented and developed personally, spoke about a little witch named Sue and her desire to get to study at a wizard’s college.  Obstacles arise on the way of the main character to achieve the goal, crystals help to overcome them.  Due to their properties, they acquire magical power and become fateful both for the heroine herself and for those who will play a computer game.

The author of the film “Eyes - Dispersion of the Soul” Alexandra Chernysh draws a parallel between the world of the human soul, its worldview, its desires and the physical phenomenon of dispersion, which is often found in nature and is clearly manifested by means of a physical device - a prism that can refract light and decompose it into colors.  As a colorful spectrum of a prism, a person’s life is decomposed into tones and midtones, light, bright and dark colors.  The desire to rule the world, a kind of "dream world", encourages a person to action, actions and thoughts.  Human life is played out as a game of chess, where each figure, to one degree or another, seeks to play by its own rules, to rule the world.  Perhaps this is a fictional world, a world of play.  But how often is it similar to reality...

So, the festival echoed, but it did not end.  He offers current and future participants and spectators to plunge into the wonderful world of screen art again and again, to participate in their own creativity or contemplation in thinking about the modern universe, in covering current issues and issues that concern modern youth, so that by means of screen creativity

"CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BEST".
