Press, press, press

For the two days in Yekaterinburg, our home base is the Dom Kino, “the House of Cinema”, which includes a multiplex cinema, a snack-restaurant and the office of the Ural Branch of the Film-Makers Union. The Head of Creative Programmes of the Union, the very kind Natalya M. Reshetnikova, constantly smiles and gives motherly looks to all the participants. Last but not least, she speaks English, something quite unusual for an over 40 year-old Russian woman. All in all, her person represents a great dose of comfort in the generally rough Yekaterinburg.

For the second time in few days, we are giving a press conference. It is now to the journalists of Yekaterinburg we are presenting the workshop. It might feel a little bit like the promotion of the project is taking over the project itself, but fortunately the press conference is not too long. Answers from media is very positive since three different TV channels are present. No doubt that the local connections of Nikita and the kind help of the Film-Makers Union of Russia has been of great support. The next day we see on TV a long report on the project followed by an interview on set with Nikita. The main press agency in Russia also released a news on Cinetrain: http://www.itartass.ur.ru/news/?id=39706

Now that the project gets famous... we just have to make good films!
