"We see a serious need in the industry for a geographical unification on one resource. "Kinokarta" is, in fact, a kind of interactive encyclopedia of cinema, where you can learn about films using their coordinates. We encourage everyone to fill out the card and share their family stories related to filming. We want Kinokarta to unite both filmmakers and their viewers in this way, and also to inspire everyone to film trips, " says Vladimir Gnezdilov , project manager.
"This is an important project for Kino-Teatr.Ru. We are creating a new environment for the interaction of all participants in the film industry and we want to show that films are shot not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, our map will clearly prove how strongly different regions of Russia are involved in the film process. In addition, cinema can become an important component of the tourist attraction of the regions, and we are promoting such a tourist destination as film travel in every possible way. We already see further development paths for Kinokarta and hope that this project will be in great demand, " says Zhan Prosyanov , editor-in-chief of the Kino-Teatr.Ru portal.
Kinokarta Rossii was created with the support of the Internet Development Institute (ANO IRI).
