TARUSA WILL HOST A LARGE-SCALE EDUCATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROJECT DEDICATED TO THE PATRONYMIC ANIMATION SCHOOL

Within the framework of the Khitruk School project, an educational program for young animation teachers from different regions of Russia will be organized from September 26 to October 6, and screenings, creative meetings and master classes will be held for residents and guests of Tarusa. The project is being implemented with the support of the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives.

As part of the educational program, participants will create a cartoon “Once upon a Time in Tarusa…”, which will consist of animated children’s drawings. The drawings will be brought by participants of the Khitruk School from different cities of Russia, including from Vladivostok. Also, the participants of the program will become ambassadors-messengers of the animation community and will hold master classes in schools of the city and talk about where you can get an animator profession.

The Khitruk School is aimed at popularizing, teaching and developing the art of animation and, first of all, at preserving in animation the national tradition of the classical school – the F.S. Khitruk School.
The Khitruk School in Tarusa is the 2nd part of the project. The first part was held in Yekaterinburg in Urgakha this summer. Three films created by students of URGAKHU under the guidance of Master Lisa Skvortsova as part of the intensive course were included in the Competitive Program of the Big Cartoon Festival, which will be held in October.
Khitruk Academy is not the first time in Tarusa. In the summer of 2021. In the Mosaic Workshop in the House of Writers, students of animation faculties under the direction of director Yura Boguslavsky shot the world’s first mosaic film “The Sky has no Edge”, which traveled through many international festivals.
After Tarusa, the Khitruk School will return to Moscow – there are teleconferences across the country and the Khitruk School for Schoolchildren ahead.
