About
Our Mission
Our Mission Art into Life, just like its name, aims to build connections into the lives of people by celebrating and promoting the diversity and richness of Russian cinema and culture.
It will build cultural bridges, allowing artists to grow through interaction with the viewing public and media and by furthering cultural exchanges between Canadians and Russians.
The Kino Art Festival presented by Art into Life will offer Canadian audiences an opportunity to enjoy films that are not in regular distribution and also introduce other aspects of traditional and contemporary Russian culture.
Who We Are
Art into Life was established in 2004, bringing together people from different backgrounds to enhance to the Russian contribution to the cultural life of Toronto – a city noted for its appreciation of cinema and film festivals.
Kino Art Festival Program
The main program of the Festival consists of works of contemporary film directors and producers. The Festival not only reveals the unique talents of independent and avant-garde cinema, it will also help to dispel the cultural stereotypes surrounding Russians today.
