In October 2019 Dmitry Zodchy came up with the idea of holding an annual International Film Festival in the Donbass – abbreviated as DMFF. The direction of the DIFF is Semantic Cinema: everything that can be defined as conscious creativity aimed at educating the masses, developing and transforming the existing state of affairs. In order to realize this intention, a domain with the appropriate name was purchased and a VKontakte group was created: https://vk.com/dmkfest
