On Student's Day, which was celebrated in the capital's subordinate Department of Culture For the second time, the Moskino Cinema Park hosted a tour for students from Film College No. 40 of the Moscow International Film School and Entrepreneurship College No. 11. Ivan Golomovzyuk, director and producer and film advisor to the general director of ANO Kinopark, led the tour. He explained how sets are designed, which outdoor locations are currently in demand among filmmakers, and how filmmakers select them for their projects.
"The Moskino Cinema Park offers great opportunities for both seasoned professionals and young people just starting out. Specialized events, tours, and lectures on film sets help young people learn about the specifics of filmmaking, choose a career path, and gain practical skills in camera work, green screen, and more. All the cinema park sets are realistically crafted and meticulously convey the era. For example, when you visit the set created for the filming of "Buratino," you can observe the nuances of the architectural design of the time," said Ivan Golomovzyuk.
The route began at the "Modern Moscow" set, which recreated the atmosphere of a metropolis with glass business centers, streets with road markings, traffic lights, underpasses and pedestrian crossings, as well as the French embassy, a multifunctional center, a police station, a school, and a kindergarten. Filming for the "Secret City" project was previously held here.
"I really loved the 'Cities of the Middle East and Central Asia' set, with its narrow streets, terracotta houses, and fabric awnings. And the sets look amazing in winter, like some kind of post-apocalyptic world," shared Elizaveta Kuznetsova, a first-year student at Film College No. 40, Moscow International Film School.
Tour participants also visited the "Provincial Towns of Europe" set, featuring narrow Italian streets, cobblestones, and tiled roofs; the largest set in Europe (six hectares)—"Cities of the Middle East and Central Asia"—with throne room interiors; the "Moscow during Constructivism" set, featuring the Mosselprom and Izvestia newspaper buildings; and the "Yurovo Airport" set. Approximately 100 people participated in this exclusive tour.
First-year student Semyon Filatov said it was a fascinating experience for him, revealing the true scale of the film industry. He also emphasized that the tour guides were true professionals. He was interested in learning about the logistics of such projects and the construction of the buildings themselves.
After the tour, the students joined the film park's program. They participated in staged and one-shot shoots, visited Father Frost's House, and created storyboards and voiced cartoons during workshops. They also filmed their course projects on the sets of the "County Town," "Cowboy Town," "Prince Andrei's Chambers," and other locations.
