Today, almost five years after the first edition of the Lab, we are moving to the next level – we want to provide an opportunity to build film knowledge and skills as per the high standards of the Russian professional education. And the key thing is that all residents of Chukotka have a chance to get into our Film Lab!' – Filipp ABRYUTIN, the Artistic Director of the Golden Raven Film Festival, comments.
