The channel “Russia 24” told about the festival “Shorter”-2016
A speech to the guests of the festival “Shorter” asked the Minister of culture of Russia Vladimir Medinsky:for Me to address here wrote a speech, which stated that “very important”, “young debutants”, “they grow up and learn after a short meter to shoot a big movie,” “this is a good start, and the participants of previous festivals are already working in a feature film”. But it seems to me that writing short is much harder than writing long. Probably, and to remove shorter – too complicated. Full meter you can gradually speed up, to improve, and here you have five, ten minutes. The whole story, all the love, all life must stay within these minutes. You need a special talent. So of course, I wish all participants of the festival to remove then entire series, Eclipse “Game of thrones” to make their “Seventeen moments of spring”, to be held in a feature film, but what you are doing now, just fine. I saw on YouTube a few movies from past festivals “in Short”, and I loved it. So I wish a great and long future, fame, and creative disputes.”
