On February 21, the National Centre RUSSIA hosted the opening ceremony of the III International Documentary Film Festival "RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes."

Guests of the evening witnessed the premiere of the song "Kursk Front" performed by fighters and veterans of the Special Military Operation from the group "Novorossiya." The event also featured performances by the girls from the Katyusha ensemble and the Bakhyt-Kompot rock 'n' roll band. Additionally, the world-renowned neoclassical composer Igor Skvortsov presented his new piece, "Lullaby for the Whole World." The audience was particularly moved by the performance of six-year-old Yana Poluektova, who traveled from Kizlyar to sing "My Dear Boys."

The audience also attended the premiere of the war documentary "Island of Faith" by RT filmmakers Olga Kiriy and Artyom Somov.

"At war, no matter where you turn the camera, there is always drama, always a human story. Despite the vast amount of content already filmed, we cannot stop. Because many of our guys remain unknown, and we must do everything to preserve their memory, as they are giving the most precious thing they have — their lives," said Yekaterina Yakovleva, General Producer of the "RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes" festival.

The festival program includes more than 70 films. These are works by war correspondents from RT, Channel One, VGTRK, the Zvezda TV channel, the SPAS TV channel, as well as independent filmmakers, including international authors. The festival features documentaries from Italy, France, and the United States.

"Let’s hope that our descendants will also watch these films and remember the true heroes," noted Alexander Borodai, a member of the State Duma of Russia.

Simultaneous film screenings of the festival are being held with the support of Rossotrudnichestvo in 21 countries, including Abkhazia, Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Egypt, Zambia, India, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, China, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Palestine, Peru, Serbia, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and South Ossetia.

The International Festival "RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes" brings together documentary filmmakers, war correspondents, artists, poets, musicians, and public opinion leaders on its platforms. The festival program is united by a common idea: "This is the time of heroes. This is our time."
