Anton Bormatov’s social drama Kicking In taken out of competition over “human rights” issues.
Russian football hooligan film Kicking In (Okolofutbola) was excluded from consideration by the jury of the the Saint-Petersburg International Film Festival (Spiff), it has emerged.
The second edition of the festival ended last night [Sept 22] with the declaration from jury president Sergei Bodrov.
The international jury refused to consider Anton Bormatov’s social drama based on real events in the world of football hooligans because of the authors’ position which was “not in line with modern European humanistic values and human rights”.
The festival had organised a sidebar - “Section 22 frames” - dedicated to films about football and one commentator asked why Bormatov’s film hadn’t been shown here. The film was produced by the Saint-Petersburg-based producer Sergei Selyanov of Ctb, who was in Moscow at the same time for the film’s premiere in the October cinema.

Red-letter day for Moscow
KARLOVY VARY, Czech Republic -- Russian director Vera Storozheva's romantic drama Travels With Domestic Animals (Puteshesviye s domashnimi zhivotnym) collected the main Golden George prize at the Moscow International Film Festival.
Storozheva told the jury chairman, Australian director Fred Schepisi, and guests at the closing gala in Moscow's downtown Pushkin film theater that the prize was "unexpected and much wished for." Hers was one of three Russian films in the feature competition lineup of 19 international movies.
"We were waiting and hoping and watching how the audience and press reacted," she told journalists Saturday night during the closing-night ceremony.
The best director prize went to Giuseppe Tornatore for The Unknown Woman (La Sconoscuita), a thriller about the exploitation of a young Ukrainian woman alone in a provincial Italian city.
The main winner in the Perspectives competition section -- reserved for features by young directors who have already made their debuts -- went to Latvian director Juris Poskus for Monotony (Monotonija). The film centers on a young woman whose dreams of becoming an actress are crushed after she fails an audition.
