ONT to Show Ideological Blockbuster “Sovetskaya Belorussia” 19:01, 28/08/2006
The Second National TV Channel has started filming of another large-scale project. A 10-piece serial film under a working title “Sovetskaya Belorussia”. Ten documentary films 60 minutes each is to tell about the history of Belarus starting from the year 1917 until the events in Viskuli, where a document of the USSR dissolution was signed. The story will be censored naturally.
The initiator of the project was a chairman of the board of directors of the Second National Channel (ONT) Grygory Kisel. The work is headed by a director Igor Rudomyotov, notorious for his propaganda works.
Film director Rudomyotov in an interview to the “Sovetskaya Belorussia” told that the most important merit of the film for him is the style of presentation of archive materials. “We would be intentionally meagre in comments to events. Our main trump cards are music, facts and editing of documentary footage. For instance, we tell about the beginning of the year 1918, when there is no Tsarist army, and a new one is not still formed, and at that moment we show 10,000 volunteers. All soldiers are in bask shoes. And then we show a title of an article “Let’s give bask shoes to our army!” Nothing is needed to be added, isn’t it? Documentary cadres speak volumes”.
8 episodes of the film will be historical, while 2 would be thematic, not connected with certain dates: “Our people in space” (about first Belarusian cosmonauts, an interview with the mother of the famous cosmonaut Klimuk), “Belarus at international arena” about first steps of a new Soviet republic at international arena.
The new film is to be televised at ONT channel in January.
