the film tells about the three 16-year-old schoolchildren, faced with the prejudices and fears of peers and adults.
– Thanks to the courage, determination and talent of the Director, screenwriter, – told the regional adviser of UNESCO for education and health Tigran epoyan, thanks to the enthusiasm of the great artists turned out this film. When we looked at it, was just happy, so honestly, truthfully, openly, without cuts shows what our children live, we, their parents and teachers.
I would call the Director Vlad Senkovo Belarusian Zhora Gooseberry in the skirt, creating a folk Comedy. Her previous film “the Count of oranges” participated in the 38th Moscow international film festival. “Count…” passed in the dialogues, in the brilliant soundtrack, the sense of reckless youth.
the Director of the Vitebsk Vlad Senkov has a cinematic education. Now Senkov are in school of Andrzej Wajda. “Count the oranges,” she took the same enthusiasm. She wrote the story she sat in the Director’s chair, not having a Director’s diploma, almost not spending money. Two and a half thousand dollars, borrowed from parents, went to the lunch team, props and petrol. Another two thousand for color correction and scoring of the film was collected on a crowdfunding platform.
Faith of the Director in the bright future involved in the domestic health, the Director and his team have something to say to the world.
How do you formulate the theme of the film?
Vlad Senkov: the Film is about all of us. About young people. About the lack of sex education in my and neighbouring countries. About the lack of education, especially among adults, which is all aggression and ignorance. The film is not just “another teenage drama” though, because in the film suffer adults. Because at first glance teenage carelessness grows into a massive problem to deal with which can people of any age. It just shows us that we don’t have enough knowledge on how to behave in such a situation that happened in the movie. And it’s not in the rules, but in self-education, that what we feel and allow ourselves to feel like doing something, thinking that our actions are harmless. According to the results of success at the Warsaw festival and the first reviews I can say that the film is very bright answers from the audience. They cry and laugh, thank you for the movie. I hope this movie will be another drop of honey in a barrel of tar and will help society become more tolerant and educated.
