A large-scale documentary about the protected forests of Komi has been released in Russian cinemas: the distribution of the film has begun in Belgrade.
According to colleagues, from November 12 to see the movie "Forest. The Keeper of Life" is available at Cinema Park City Belgorodsky Mall.
The work on the painting took four years: during this period its creators visited 14 delegations. They worked in specially protected areas in Murmansk, Sverdlovsk and Tver regions. And the main location was the Pechora-Ilyichsky Nature Reserve - part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Virgin Komi Forests", where forest areas that are at least twelve thousand years old have been preserved.
"It was important for us to introduce modern man to the rhythm of the forest: to slow down his perception in order to better feel the deep atmosphere of untouched nature," says director and producer Irina Shafman: "We hope that our film will help to reconsider society's attitude to undisturbed virgin forests and show the need for their preservation, but it is not just a complex system for resources. essential for humans".
We will add: this week, on November 21, there will be a special screening of the film in St. Petersburg. You can get more details on the project website.
