Every person has experienced at least once the irresistible urge for stone skipping while walking by the sea. That liberating activity sometimes grows into a competition or it's just a test of one's strength, as in who will be better at it. Similar excitement takes over a person that finds himself among bunch of films, trying to choose the best one that will skip the farthest – as Kazinoti elaborated this year’s idea.
