The film "Gulnazek - the victor of divs" was shot in the most complicated,   by common recognition, technique - animation, permeated with kindness and warm humor, warmed by national color.

Behind external simplicity of the picture, the author's colossal activity, more than a year of concentrated work, demanded from Elena Yermolina, in fact, seclusion, almost complete disconnection from other worries, so that nothing distracted from the creative process of the film ...

This was said at the presentation by producer of the film Svetlana Bukharaeva, highly appreciating both the skill and strength of Elena's character. She dwelled in detail on the traditional details of creating a film in this technique, and also described the individual difficulties that arose during the work on this film.

This project was supported and financed by the Ministry of Culture of Russia.
