— Alexey, tell us about your business. How did it come about? What does he mean to you?
– The project is more than a year old. It was created in fruitful creative agony. The main goal was to explore the great Russian Amur River, explore the history of the development of these lands by Russian Cossacks, about our famous explorers, such as Nevelskaya, Muravyov-Amursky and about the people who live on the beautiful Amur lands.
– Who was involved in the filming?
– In 2021, an expedition was carried out to the upper Amur, practically from the confluence of Shilka and Argun to Blagoveshchensk, as part of which we talked with people’s substances. It was a scientific expedition, it included botanists, both metropolitan and local. There were also archaeologists, local historians, historians. We passed almost all the settlements, despite the flood in Eastern Europe.
What are some highlights of this film?
– This film is in a new format – tagged. The main purpose of these tags is a call to the younger generation. Today, due to “clip” thinking, people live no more than five to ten minutes of airtime. Our film is made up of such tags, they compactly talk about some phenomenon or event, or people, or about a populated entrance. The main highlights are our scientists-researchers. The second thread is history. The third is the great shrine of the Amur region, the Albazin Icon of the Mother of God. Also in the international flood, which took the expedition to protect the Amur. The water level then reached almost 11-12 meters. These are key highlights, but not all.
Who worked on this film?
– A creative team worked on the film and the work continues. Because it will go not only along the path of forming new tags in compliance with the certificate of the national film and the distribution certificate. There will be spectator events and venues for accommodation. The main participants and performers are the director Tatyana Kiseleva, this is the cameraman Evgeny Kozyrev, and, of course, at a distance and just in the vicinity of the Amur region.
– Who was dragged to the presentation?
— Very surprising and interesting people were invited to the presentation. These are local historians, studies that reveal a new layer of historical understanding of these Amur lands, botany. Internet broadcast of our film. A wide audience not only from the Far East is connected to it.
