MineMovie Film Festival

About Film Festival

We live in an era when a responsible attitude to the production of mineral resources is at the forefront of public consciousness, and perceptions and reputation can significantly affect business. There is a considerable gap between public perceptions of the mining and metals industries and reality.

In today’s socio-economic environment, in addition to addressing the challenges of increasing production efficiency, mining and smelting companies should use new formats to shape public perception and pay more attention to presenting the crucial role of the mining industry in job creation, technological development and prevention of irreversible climate change.

Documentaries are one of the most effective means of shaping public perception. To change attitudes towards the industry, companies need to do more than do their job well. They need to learn to talk about themselves.

Held since 2019 jointly with the First Geological Channel The MineMovie Film Festival is the most significant event in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Community for the presentation of short documentaries about the mining and geological and metallurgical industries and the people who work in them. The 3^rd MineMovie Film Festival is organised in September-October 2021 on the platform of the MINEX Russia Forum in Moscow.

The First Geological Channel was created in 2012 by Mining Communications, which has been operating on the market since 1994. The goal is to popularise knowledge about the mining industry, exchange the advanced achievements of science and mining technologies.
