School children visited a traveling exhibition of cinema and movie props

In the Kazan school № 122 a traveling exhibition of cinema and film requisite took place. The mobile exhibition devoted to the Tatarstan cinema has traveled around the Tatarstan regions since 2016. The goal of the project is to show the development of cinema since the 1920th of the XX century and attract a potential viewer to the cinema.

A special place among the exhibits is occupied by the domestic movie camera "Konvas" of 1970, produced by the LOMO plant. In common, it is called "three-eyed". This name it received due to the presence of three interchangeable lenses, which made shooting mobile. In addition, permanent photographs and movie cameras, microphones, a self-made box for cinema cameras for underwater photography, a gramophone, an old wicker cradle, which was used in  filming  the “Kurban – Roman” movie, are permanent exhibits.

We remind that the active members of the Union of Cinematographers of the Republic of Tatarstan, O.G. Surov and V. A. Klyachkin, initiated the educational project “Breath of Time” as part of the Year of Russian Cinema. With financial support from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan, residents of 13 districts of Tatarstan were able to touch the history of Tatarstan cinema. A traveling exhibition of cinema and cinematographic with a showing of the  documentary film about the development and formation of the cinema of Tatarstan and creative meetings with famous Tatarstan filmmakers were liked  by the audience of school age. Visits are regularly made to schools.

This time, screenwriter and director Alexei Barykin and producer Oleg Surov conducted a thematic hour at school number 122 in Kazan, where a part of the traveling exhibition was presented. In addition, the children were told how the film “Water” was made, the lead singer Katya Barykina was introduced, and the film “Film about the film” was shown.
