"The festival is held for the third time, but has already won popularity among young people.Last year, we were even approached by a group of young composers with a desire to create music for the booktrailers, which has turned into very interesting collaboration of creative youth," said the festival's organizer Ruslan Sabirli.
The project aims at promoting books, supporting and developing creative forms of reading, searching talented young people in cinematography and promoting bookrailers as a part of art and business.
The jury will include well-known figures of culture and art, Trend Life reported.
