Oleg Flyangolts. "Indifference" did not leave us indifferent.

On 7th of June the film "Indifference" as part of the contest was shown directed by Oleg Flyangolts.


   The first thing you see in this film is its the creative history. Started and finished shooting during the years 1989-90s, the film spent 25 years "under the bed." This "exposure" was very recent, and this year the film won the Grand Prix Kinotavr.

    "Indifference" despite its name is quite indifferent to its filling and performance. Embellished by modern features (3D, animation), the tape has not just found a new breath; it joined in a declaration of love to films and the atmosphere of the sixties, eighties and an unrestrained drive with a modern nostalgia of those times. An unpretentious love story of Petit's protagonist (played by the army just returned from Fyodor Bondarchuk), story of the escape and capture of the dog Tuzik, flying machines in the clouds and the dance of bullets, all done with one purpose, namely to perform the anthem of youth. This is a really young movie, despite its advanced age, the movie for the young, for this day forever young, those who danced the twist in Moscow cafes and collected "Muscovites" with engines of "The Cossacks."




Oleg Flyangolts gave a press conference after the presentation of his film.

- How did you come to the idea of creating such a film?
- First, the word "indifference" came to my mind and, as was the custom in those years, it was decided to write a script for that word. All the material was shot over the next two years, but then the film was put "under the bed". And recently, we decided to go back and finish this film. So there were the modern "supplements" like 3D animation and voice actors, but since the film was made without the direct sound, had to tell other people's voices.

- Did  your attitude to the film during this time change?
-In front of me was a difficult task, to get at the time of youth, to feel old enough to make films.

- Should we wait for your next film as long?
- No, there are several options to work with. And we will work with the same people.

- Is there a difference between reaction to the film at Kinotavr and here, at VOICES?
- Yes, even though things are different. At Kinotavr - the film was watched by professionals, and here by ordinary movie fans. And the Grand Prix Kinotavr for me was an unexpected reward.
