"Dostoevsky Intercontinental" dedicated to the influence of the Russian writer on world culture, philosophy, and art in general, illustrates the fact, as one of the heroes of the film says, that "Dostoevsky will always have many readers. "For my part, I would add, having watched the film directed by Ivan Zakharenko, that Dostoevsky will have many moviegoers as well," said Irina Izmailova, the compiler of the film program of the "Golden Tower" IFF.

"After watching the film, in which researchers and fans of the writer's work from different continents and countries - China, India, Brazil, South Africa, and Russia - talk about Dostoevsky’s legacy, I wanted not only to re-read his novels, but also, as a film historian, to count how many film adaptations of this author's novels were created in world cinema. I am sure that the film "Dostoevsky Intercontinental" will find a wide response from the audience," added Irina Izmailova.
