In Moscow, at the workshop of Nikita Mikhalkov "12", the second ceremony of awarding the Eurasian Open Film Award "Diamond Butterfly" took place.
The award for her contribution to world cinema was given to Alisa Freundlich. Nikita Mikhalkov, who invited Freundlich to the stage, did not spare her admiration, and the audience gave thunderous applause.
The actress herself was modest:
God, everything I invested in our cinema was a long time ago, in the 20th century, and already in the 21st, I no longer invest anything in the cinema. Mikhalkov, who presented the award, noted that now there is something to invest. I mean the expensive diamond that comes with the prize. He added that Freundlich is a diamond in itself and a decoration for any award.
