“Kinostart”
Age restriction: 6+
Dates: August 23
The Gorky Film Studio invites children aged 10 to 14 and their parents to a family interactive program. It takes the form of a team game that introduces participants to the main stages of film production — from the initial idea to the final “Cut!”.
First, guests will be introduced to film professions. After that, participants will test their visual memory and reaction in the “Film Expert” quiz, where they will need to recognize a movie or cartoon from a short fragment.
Then the teams will have to go through five thematic rounds. In the “Okay Battle,” participants will try their hand as screenwriters and come up with a story within a limited time. In the director’s round “Object,” the participants will test their observation skills and ability to frame a shot. In the “Silent” round, they will convey a story using facial expressions and gestures. In the “Improvisation” round, participants will solve unconventional tasks where teamwork and interaction are important. The program will conclude with a film quiz that will combine the knowledge and impressions gained during the game.
The final will feature a summary and presentation of the Gorky Film Studio’s film campus programs. Here, you can get acquainted with the following areas of study: acting, film production and dubbing, as well as digital professions.
To access the territory of the Gorky Film Studio, you must have a passport with you. Entry is through the Telebasis checkpoint on Wilhelm Pieck Street.
To visit, it is necessary to arrange ticket.
