Basta, L'One and BLIZKEY talked about the backstage of VK Fest in the documentary "Music be with Me"

The history of the country's main festival is revealed by the documentary "Music be with me" from the media "On Noise". He was interviewed by Basta, L'One, BLIZKEY and the organizers of VK Fest. The movie is already available in VK Videos.

The film's characters shared their personal impressions of VK Fest and thoughts about the industry. Basta told how he prepares for a meeting with the audience, why he considers VK Fest to be an ambassador of festivals and what kind of music he lacks in general. BLIZKEY gave advice to young artists and told them how to get to festivals and become famous. L'One admitted that he does not like to work according to a script and improvises with track listings as part of a performance, and also shared the story of the creation of the single and the cover of "I'm on Fire."

"At the Moscow VK Fest, I presented the song "I'm on Fire." Momentary marketing, as I call it, happened. In St. Petersburg, on the stage of the festival, it turned out that in front of me is a fire, behind me is a fire, it all comes together, and it feels like I'm in one big bonfire. A spectator from the front row took a photo, and the cover for the single was born. We made a merch with this print. I gave it away at the festival in Moscow when I presented the song," said L'One.

The film includes stories from the speakers about the beginning of the festival, its mission and structure. In it, you can find out who came up with VK Fest, what principle the line-up is based on, how the organizers organize their work to provide maximum details, and why social networks and people need the festival.

"Sometimes you can't immediately see the heart and social initiatives behind our technologies and products. Our every project is based on benefits for people, comfort and care. We strive to be closer to the audience, to speak the same language with them here and now. We have transferred this approach to our festival, where we create a space for live communication and vivid emotions," Zoya Novikova, head of VK Fest, shared.

In addition to the artists, Yuri Subbotin, an expert in the field of festival business, Zoya Novikova, director of the festival, Andrey Reznikov, general producer of Radio Record, Zlata Kolotvina, executive director of the festival, and other members of the VK Fest team starred in the documentary for the 10th anniversary of the festival.
