LAMPA is a project about the films that empower

Since 2014, LAMPA has been shaping the ecosystem of social-impact cinema in Russia and inspiring people around the globe.

The Festival’s short films and cause-related advertising address socially important topics, including, among others, volunteerism, education, inclusion, charity, family values, environmentalism. It is through our creative approach, high-quality content and stable communications that LAMPA wins hearts of the audience and loyalty among the film professionals.

Values of LAMPA

LAMPA is social-impact cinema championing timeless values: living in a beautiful world, feeling loved and protected, having friends, being understood, finding one’s place in life and having the strength to make the right choice. We believe that the film art can and should have a positive impact on people, and millions of viewers share this idea. According to the survey by our partners from the National Media Group, 59% of Russians believe that films should educate and influence the views and values of the audience.

Each LAMPA film is a motivational message to its viewing audience. Our films call to action and drive to change ourselves and create change in the world.

Founder of LAMPA

LAMPA Film Festival Founder and President Olga Zubkova:

LAMPA seeks to tell true stories of real people who are able to change their lives and their community. Instead of criticising or accusing they choose to take actions. By personal example they prove that people can rise above any circumstances. They aren’t planet-scale heroes but your next-door neighbours. And you can be the same if you choose to.

Friends of LAMPA

Friendship is what makes our project strong and consistent.

LAMPA has more than once presented its best films at the United Nations. Our guests are the film’s real characters, directors, actors, screenwriters, producers, representatives of charities and businesses.

We are grateful to our partners for this opportunity to share common meanings and broadcast them on the big screen.

LAMPA is enlisted as one of international film festivals held in Russia by the Russian Ministry of Culture.

Home of LAMPA

The city of Perm, Russia, is the main venue for the Film Festival. LAMPA is an educational festival as we are advocating the idea that positive impact films should proliferate across the globe. There are no borders for the Festival and its participants. We bring retrospectives of the festival films and open screenings to different locations worldwide. The ideas expressed in the films are equally relevant for all beings.

You also can connect with LAMPA just at your arm’s length! All you need is internet and your screen device.

Through our Rutube channel we are expanding the boundaries of impact films to make them as accessible as possible and to motivate positive changes. The home of LAMPA is where meaningful cinema is watched and enjoyed.
