From June 1-4, Perm will host the 1st All-Russian Festival of Children’s, Family Films and Animation “Bear Cubs”. The launch of the movie review was announced by Gavriil Gordeev, the producer of the original content of the Okko video service.
Gordeev also became the president of the film festival. The future review is timed to coincide with the 300th anniversary of Perm.
The general producer of the festival, Alena Semerikova-Volkova, said that the idea to keep the Bear Baby first appeared in 2019, when the Perm Film Commission and discount system were created. Two years later, a long-term strategy was developed for the development of filmmaking in the Perm Territory.
Talking about the identity and name of the festival, Gordeev said that the bear is on the coat of arms of the Perm Region and that the symbol of the show is coordinated not only with the focus group, but also with the children.
“An example for us was the images of the book illustrations in which this creature was presented as extremely curious, investigative. Since the festival is primarily focused on children, we want to make them aware of this thirst for constant search,” Gordeev explained.
