The heroes of the LAMPA Film Festival just get up and do what others are just talking about.
Liu ZhenminUnder-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs (USA)
The LAMPA Film Festival presented a picture that if we work together, united together, we can really help those people who are in need.
Alexander PetrovCinema and theatre actor (Russia)
The LAMPA is a festival about real talents, about true heroes. Their heroic actions are what you see on a screen. These social advertising and short videos should be broadcasting on national TV channels.
Anton BogdanovActor and director
The LAMPA is the festival where the jury votes sincerely, with their hearts. And let it stay that way!
Yuri BorisovTheater and film actor
Everything that happens within the LAMPA is all true, it's all honest. And this is why it is valuable!
Francesco PisanoDirector of Library&Archives at United Nations Geneva
The LAMPA Film Festival fulfills an important mission, uniting the filmmakers of the planet with the SDG agenda, who speak to each other and to the audience through the life-affirming language of cinema.
Valentina MatvienkoChairwoman of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation
I am convinced that the events of the LAMPA International Film Festival will contribute to increasing social responsibility and popularisation of volunteerism in the Russian Federation and around the world.
Alessandro RotiliDirector of the “Backbeat” short documentary film (Italy)
The LAMPA is a film festival where we can share our views and feelings and suggest ways to solve existing problems.
Sunil Sathyavolu ChakravarthiDirector of the “Silent Voice” social video (India)
I appreciate the LAMPA Film Festival especially for the uniqueness they have added in giving a platform like the United Nations as a venue and bringing people together who share common goals under SDGs.
David ChikvaidzeChef de Cabinet of the Director-General of United Nations Office at Geneva (Switzerland)
I think that the LAMPA Film Festival is significant in itself. It shows what spiritual strength is and how people do good deeds not wanting to earn a reward nor following their religious beliefs but simply because they saw a problem and wanted to do something about it themselves.
Georgiy KaptelinDeputy chief editor of TASS news agency (Russia)
As a representative of the state media, I can say that for us, promotion of socially important topics is one of the priorities of editorial policy. Emotions overwhelm us. When we watch all these films, we understand what kind of miracles the LAMPA works.
Arjanmar Hernandez RebetaDirector of the “Wing Chair” short documentary film (Philippines)
Thank you again for this award! It motivates us and empowers us to make decisive moves. The Film Festival gives an opportunity to inspire a large number of people and make more films that carry light. The LAMPA spreads the light all over the world!
Daniela BasDirector of DESA's Division for Inclusive Social Development (USA)
To bring movies from all over the world, as LAMPA’s doing, that show in practice what social justice means, I think, is a very effective tool. Less words and more action.
Veronica PandillaDirector of the “Gentle mentals” social video (USA)
The LAMPA is super exciting because it’s very clear and inclusive for everyone. You can see the diversity and every film and it touches so many cultures, ethnicities, races. It’s international and just globally ran out, and I'm very excited to be a part of it.
Isabella SpadoneDirector of the “Super grandma” social video (USA)
I really think it's a strong platform for public diplomacy, that is bringing together a lot of like minded, artists and creators, who can speak the same language of art in films about these issues. It is truly valuable because I would've never known about these filmmakers before the LAMPA.
Jude KalmanDirector of the “Katura’s Story” short documentary film (Australia)
The LAMPA is something I am super passionate about. Your advocacy and your promotion, and your encouragement to filmmakers, like myself, are so important and it makes such an impact not just in Russia. I believe it makes an impact throughout the nations.
Vladimir GantaSenior Statistician in the ILO Statistics department, manager of a joint ILO-UN Volunteers project (Switzerland)
I think the LAMPA’s key to success is a possibility to see the works of very talented directors, who care about what is happening around them in society and who want to transmit their emotions, feelings about it. After having participated in the LAMPA Film Festival, I can say that the UN Volunteers would be happy to shoot and send a work to the LAMPA’s Competitive Selection.
