A resident of the Primorsky Territory expressed fierce anger after a film crew working on the movie “Big Land” allegedly damaged a natural monument on Cape Bruce. The scene was captured and shared by a local Telegram channel representing a regional organization.
The critical witness described what he saw during production, noting how the crew appeared to have left a substantial mark on the landscape. He said the team shot on site in a way that disrupted pathways and left behind waste. In the footage, a local woman is heard confronting the crew, asking what they were doing to the area and accusing them of treating the local environment with disregard while filming.
The uploader presented images showing construction activity and litter scattered across the area, including uprooted wild rose bushes and damage to the road that leads to the cape. The testimony of nearby residents supported the footage, underscoring the emotional impact of the incident on the community. FederalPress reports indicate that the filming restricted access for both tourists and residents for about a month due to the activity around Cape Bruce.
Filming for the movie titled “Big Country” began in May 2024 within the Primorsky Territory. Production occurred on the Bruce Peninsula and in Vladivostok. The project was led by director Yulia Trofimova, known for works such as “Country Sasha.” The principal cast included Artem Bystrov, Vladislav Vetrov, Evgenia Dmitrieva, Pavel Maykov, Ruzil Minekaev, Evgeniy Kharitonov, Platon Gerasimov, and Kapitolina Sobol.
In another note, audiences previously attended a Svetlana Loboda concert in Latvia, with some fans reportedly leaving the event early. This detail appears as part of a broader discussion about public reception to artistic performances and filming activities connected to the region.
From a broader perspective, residents and observers in the Primorsky Territory remain attentive to how film crews balance creative work with environmental stewardship. Community voices emphasize the importance of protecting natural landmarks while supporting the arts and regional cinema. Local authorities and production teams may be encouraged to engage more actively with communities before, during, and after on‑site shoots to minimize disruption and preserve local ecosystems. The discussion around Cape Bruce highlights how filming projects can intersect with tourism, heritage preservation, and regional pride. (FederalPress)
