The message reads, in part:
“Over the years, your wonderful project has turned into a real professional school for many gifted children and youth and has helped them uncover their abilities and talents, as well as to make friends. While continuing these good traditions, the festival once again brings together young television journalists, film directors, screenwriters, cameramen, actors and artists at the famous Orlyonok Camp. I would like to specially note that, this year, as we celebrate the 80th anniversary of Victory, creative teams will prioritise motion pictures dedicated to the heroic feat of our nation during the Great Patriotic War and to the history of Russia.
I hope that the anniversary festival-forum will prove successful, adding new brilliant masterpieces to its vast filmography, and that they will be of interest to audiences of different generations.”
