Business programme

Throughout the history of Soviet cinematography, films about work, industry, technology, and the achievements of domestic production were of great importance. Today, however, the experience of making ‘industrial’ films has largely been lost. Industrial enterprises with modern, innovative production facilities can become a unique base for the making of feature films, documentaries, and films about popular science, contribute to the growth of film production in the regions, and encourage young people to choose engineering and other blue-collar professions. How does the state support industrial projects and how can they benefit business? What place does ‘industrial’ cinema have in career guidance for young people? What language should cinema use to speak to the next generation? How can industrial cinema find a wide audience and catch viewers’ interest? How can the synergy of industrialists and filmmakers give a new perspective on Russian industry?
