WHO “INHABITS” IN MOSFILM?

Shootings of the new film The Inhabited Island by the film director Fyodor Bondarchuk are in progress in the Eighth film stage of Mosfilm. This film-dilogy that is still being shot has already made a splash. The Inhabited Island is a two part screen version of the science fiction novel by Strugatsky brothers with high budget, large scale shootings and huge scope of computer graphic. By the preliminary estimate the total time of computer graphic in the film will come to about three hours (and the total time-line of the film will be equal 4 hours 15 minutes). Many scenes have been shot just in Mosfilm stages.

Film events happen in the year 2157. This is a golden age of human civilization. The Russian spaceship piloted by twenty-years-old Maxim Kamerrer is wrecked on the far inhabited planet of Saraksh. There is a post-long-nuclear-war ecological crisis on the planet, the community faces with plentiful problems, and the established peace is still very unsteady. The brave astronaut will have to get to know the mysterious country governed by Unknown Fathers — five anonymous rulers who manipulate consciousness of inhabitants using special irradiators. Here Maxim will find new friends, make enemies, gain his love, and having undergone dangerous trials, starvation, mortal danger and losses he will lead the rebellious movement by challenging five grasping rulers.Fyodor Bondarchuk is very inspired with this project: “Since my childhood I was engrossed in novels by Strugatsky brothers. So when Alexander Rodnyansky had proposed me this script I was very glad to become absorbed again by the world of this literature. In our film we invent and embody an absolutely new material world, at that it should be elaborated till small items — up to costume details.”
