The selection was made by the new work of the winner of last year, Sergei Filatov , "Tears dripped into Pho-Bo" - a comedy about human unpredictability and funny life lessons. An erotic novel about daydreaming and calculation "We Have a Connection", a lyrical comedy "Merry Monday", a comedy horror "Greens, Meat, Head", the film "Zozhest", where the main character tries to understand what is more dangerous, creditors or a maniac, a romantic story "The Moon Will Not Rise Today", an unexpected adventure against the backdrop of idyllic Russian landscapes "Red Dawn", a psychological miniature "Knock-knock-knock" and others.
Also in the competition are several animated works - a poignant animated fairy tale about family, friendship and saving decisions "At the Depth", the Russian answer to "Interstellar" - "Swept into the Starry Depths" and an animated fairy tale about gender, personality and soul "Woman".
Competitive screenings will be held on August 20 and 21 at the Zarya cinema. This year, another venue for the festival has been added for residents of the city - the KARO cinema (Kaliningrad Plaza shopping center). Kaliningraders and guests of the city will be able to watch the competition program at the same time as members of the jury and guests of the festival - the schedule of screenings in KARO will completely coincide with the competitive screenings at the Zarya cinema. Admission to all sessions is free, by registration.

In addition to show jumping, this year the festival will present an exclusive program for buyers who attend the show more and more. As part of the special program, new Russian short films with a star cast will be shown. Representatives of platforms and companies responsible for the purchase of content will be the first to see the program and negotiate a deal right at the festival.
"Every year we observed a tendency to buy content right after the festival," says Ekaterina Vanag, general producer of the show. - And in this anniversary year, we decided to create a separate buyer program within the framework of the Koroche festival. Especially for buyers, we have selected films with the participation of stars and great spectator potential in order to shorten the path for the implementation of high-quality content and make the professional part of the festival even more comfortable for all industry participants. The authors and producers of all projects are open to cooperation and will be waiting for you in Kaliningrad. May the negotiations be successful, and together you will open many new beautiful paintings to the audience."
