The special prize of the jury chaired by the Bulgarian film director Ivaylo Hristov went to the Bulgarian Radoslav Spasov for the film The Singing Shoes recounting the life story of the Socialist-era Bulgarian pop singer Lea Ivanova who was exposed after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the publication of classified documents as an eavesdropper to security services.

Despite budget cuts and the disappearance of the annual Moscow Business Square from the agenda of festival events the festival fielded a huge programme and welcomed special guests Carlos Saura and Stephen Frears.
