Sergei Debizhev Film's creator "The avalanche of interest in our film is quite surprising as well as the full cinema houses. All what is happening I call “the miracle of “The Holy Archipelago”. It is a pleasure to see that people yearn for serious cinema and profound values. With our film we tried to set a high standard for the future Russian documentary films both in technical quality and in content filling". |
