Unfortunately in Russia there hardly are any films that adequately represent the life of gays and lesbians. We decided to fill the gap! LGBT Film Festival “Side by Side” in cooperation with the documentary films director Natalya Zhuravleva begin preparations for the shooting of the documentary “Confession” about the life of gays and lesbians in Russia. We invite gay and lesbian people from different cities and different ages to become heroes of this film, which will be shown in Russian and international festivals. Relatives of the heroes will also take part in the shootings.
