On December 15, at the Moscow Cinema House summed up the 25th International Stalker Film Festival of Human Rights. Among the laureates - the head of the department of directing of St. Petersburg State University of Film and Television, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Konstantin Lopushansky.

The director was awarded a special prize named after Marlen Khutsiyev for the film "Through Black Glass" with the wording "For Fidelity to the Stalker's Ideas". According to the plot of the drama "Through Black Glass", the main character is a blind girl of eighteen years old, a graduate of a provincial boarding school, who has an extraordinary chance. A wealthy man offers to pay for an expensive operation, provided that the day before, not seeing the groom, she will marry him. But fate rarely presents people with happy endings, and miraculously gained vision reveals the cruel truth of life to the heroine. In the film, shot according to his own original script, Konstantin Lopushansky gives not only a new interpretation of classical history, but also the author’s view on the ambiguity of man and woman relations in modern Russia.

The Stalker International Human Rights Film Festival has been held annually in Moscow since 1995. Traditionally opens on December 10 on the day of the adoption of the UN "Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
