Only productions awarded at the international festival “Films without Barriers”, which is organized by the Moscow public association “Perspective”, were screened until now.

According to Elena Ratoi, the festival’s goal is to represent the daily life of the persons with disabilities and the obstacles they face. On the other hand, there are also presented positive stories with the aim of motivating the disabled young people to be more active and to confidently live their lives.
