Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to the organisers, participants and guests of the gala ceremony of the Diamond Butterfly Open Eurasian Film Award, the key event of the Eurasian Academy of Cinematographic Arts.
The message reads, in part:
“I would like to note that this remarkable, impressive project has been implemented largely thanks to the devotion, enthusiasm and inspiration of Nikita Mikhalkov, and his desire to have a creative platform for professional and friendly communication between talented actors and film directors, composers and scriptwriters, cameramen and artists from Russia and other countries. You share a love for your profession, a commitment to noble humanitarian ideals and enduring moral and spiritual values, as well as respect for the history and unique cultures of our nations. You also possess a deep understanding of the unique role of cinema in people’s lives, in shaping their world outlook and educating the rising generations.”
