19 June 2023
The participants of the Golden Raven film-laboratory were pupils of the children's summer school camp "The Pink Gull", organized in the city of Anadyr. All the educational activities were held at the Main General Education School №1 and the first films by the children were premiered on the big screen in the Polar Theater on June 18. Viewers were presented with works that participants created on their own within a week under the guidance of professional mentors. The guys went through a film intensive and immersed themselves in the basics of filmmaking in two areas "Feature Films" and "Animation".
The training resulted in three feature short works - "Once Upon a Time in Yaranga", "Abandoned Food Court", "Film about a Movie 'Once Upon a Time in Yaranga'", as well as an animated almanac "Presence of Spirit" consisting of six stories. All works are united by an interest in the native land, its history and ethnography, as well as the spiritual culture of indigenous peoples. Children were very actively involved in the process of creating films and cartoons, which undoubtedly paid off.
At the end of the training 30 people were awarded Diplomas of participants of the film-laboratory "Golden Raven" and souvenir sets from the film festival.
Vladislav GarievichKuznetsov, Acting Governor of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug addressed the audience from the screen: "Dear children, participants, parents and organizers of the film lab of the Arctic International Film Festival "Golden Raven", I am glad to greet you! It is great, that such events take place in our Chukotka! Children are our future, it all depends on you how Chukotka will develop. You have to learn new things, work as a team and share your ideas. During this week you have created not only feature and documentary films, but also cartoons. Some of you tried your hand as directors and screenwriters, some became actors and some became cameramen. I am glad that you have had a lot of impressions and learned to work fast and to get results. You are very good! Maybe some of you realized that you would work professionally in the film industry. I am sure that you will always remember that we have a very beautiful county, it is worthy to shoot documentaries, feature films and cartoons here. And whatever profession you choose in the future, it would be great if your talents and abilities you will realize in your homeland, in Chukotka. And we from the side of the Government of the district will support you and will try to hold more such interesting and useful events as "Golden Raven". I wish you success! Thanks again to the participants and organizers!
Philip Abryutin, director, artistic director of AIFF "Golden Raven": "For the film festival "Golden Raven" holding a film lab for the creative youth of Chukotka has always been extremely important, a priority. Every year we develop both the film festival and the film lab, try different formats and expand the program. This year we have made an emphasis on working with schoolchildren and we are very happy with the results! The children had an opportunity to reveal their talents on the film set, as well as in the creation of cartoons. It's important that the scripts written by the participants are closely connected with Chukotka, its history and traditions. It is great that Chukotka has conditions for development and realization of the creative youth, and "Golden Raven" will continue working in this direction".
