Gorky Yefim Zvenyatskim offered himthe lead in organizing an international film festival of Asian Pacific Countries "Pacific Meridian".
- When Vladimir Miklushevsky offered the lead in organizing International Film Festival of Asian Pacific Countries "Pacific Meridian" the feeling with which you met the offer?
- 10 years ago, I was behind the Film Festival "Pacific Meridian", it was very pleasantly surprised. II understand that a lot of work. I am grateful to the governor for the opportunity to participate in the festival organization. In principle, the administration of Primorsky Territory Governor pay serious attention Film Festival. People culture faster may agree on cooperation than from business and politics. With great joy I would do in order to comply with the proposal.
- What changes are waiting Film Festival?
- The Festival has been around for 10 years and has proven itself quite seriously. Not the number of participating countries should be the first film festival, and the movie, which represent the country. For 10 years the festival has earned the right to choose the best of the best.
On all major film festivals is such a thing as a "film market", we have it yet. This is where the distributors are going, there is a stormy life. Should I exit Film Market. The film market is in Moscow, Sochi, St. Petersburg, perhaps someone will be interesting to conduct on-site film market in two - three years in Vladivostok. It is extremely important that the film has become Asia in the Russian regions, is an interesting prospect.
Need to address the status of film festival, the annual change of president Festival "Pacific Meridian" will help strengthen this status. I already have some ideas on this, but I will not reveal all the cards.
It is necessary to introduce a "festival village". Had the idea to open the waterfront 8 - 10 tents, this film shows, workshops, conversations with the leaders of the theater and cinema, night get-together, which would have sucked intelligent, appreciative audience as a participant Festival.
We will return the field equipment at the edge, where people get aesthetic pleasure of communicating with the artists.
It is extremely important to bring the status of the film selectors Asia Pacific-Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, to bring those people who select a movie, it's the people who own the culture and knowledge of the real movie.
We had a great studio Daltelefilm. We have the ability to do a retrospective show of the movie. For example, Alex Herman - a whole history of Russian cinema. We would like to make a special show, a retrospective of his films in the Festival. Also have an idea to do a retrospective of Russian animated films oskaronostsa Alexander Petrov. I will not reveal all the secrets, but I will say that the plan is to attract Russian and foreign film stars to the festival.
- What other innovations are waiting for the audience? Possible to change the site of?
- We would like to see the opening of Festival happened this year on the Russian island, if cinemas will be technically ready for movies. Cinemas "Ocean", "Ussuri", "Vladivostok" - a wonderful site for the demonstration of competitive films. We can not discard what has been done, however, and do not have to give up fresh ideas, it is necessary to use all the resources. For us it is crucial proposal governor of the region of the open film festival on the Russian island in the presence of technical capabilities. This, of course, the mission of the new rector Palo to be able to do within the walls of the campus opening. It indicates the special status of the other area, other terms, a different mood. We would like to make it one of the sites for communication students, young people and invite youth movie, it's very interesting.
- A match this year, a film festival "Pacific Meridian" to the festival in Moscow Entreprise?
- I have my past experience, the baggage from contact with great artists of Russia. Festival "Pacific Meridian" will complement the festival Moscow entreprise. It is extremely important to see the work of your favorite artists not only in films, but also on stage. It will be about 40 artists who will come to the repertory, and we asked them to take part in the "star" tracks. We want to get away from serials actors who are often on the same day, we are ready to invite the great Russian actors who know and love.
