I really love the Pacific Meridian Festival. How can I become a part of it?
You can join our team of volunteers. Volunteers are involved in every step of the festival organization, starting with preparing for the opening ceremony and meeting guests at the airport and finishing with the final screening on the day of the festival closing.
Audience Choice Award
The Pacific Meridian viewers also have a chance to vote for the best Russian film, so it can receive the Audience Choice Award – probably the most important Award for any director!
Before every screening of the film, nominated for the Audience Choice Award, each viewer will get a special ballot for voting. We ask our audience to tear the ballot a little, voting YES or NAY, and give it to a volunteer when you exit the movie hall. All your votes will be taken into account.
The best film will be determined based on the votes of the audience after all the screenings!
