“The Sea Wolf. Creation of movie stories” Film Company, Vladivostok free port resident, is finishing shooting of documentary film “Oleg Taktarov”.

A successful Russian sportsman who had a dream to play in movies and an indifferent to newcomers Hollywood which welcomed Oleg Taktarov who abandoned everything in mother land not with open arms. Long way to glory – first as a sportsman and coach than as the only Russian champion of prestige league of UFC and only after that – the dream came true, bright roles and successful movies.

We wanted to tell about a person who never played “bad Russians” – made his road in a way that he considered not the easiest but the most right. And respect of other movie heroes speaks for itself..

“The Sea Wolf. Creation of movie stories” Film Company, Vladivostok free port resident, has implemented documentary film project – “Normandy-Neman. Monologue”. Sooner or later our children and their grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grow up and would wish to look back and watch in details the history of their great country. Acts of bravery which could be forgotten. People who can be a pride for us and we should be proud of them. “Normandy – Neman. Monologue” – is an attempt to offer an alternative of warped historical facts which were interpreted to please political and economical interests of some countries to independently thinking audience.

We took only one of many stories of courage and bravery – a story of 18^th air guard regiment. The film is dedicated to the regiment and to world famous legendary Soviet- French escadrille “Normandy-Neman” which was a part of it. Its heroes are participants of the events, their descendants and the researchers of that period of history. The plot is based on memorial monologues, stories about air guard pilots’ feats, relations between people in the Great World War events circle, about immortal values and ideological guidelines in contrary to them. Unique interviews, unknown stories, archive materials and shots from the place of events put the viewer in the atmosphere of that time. The tape pays tribute to those who fought for peace in the air and tells about close friendship between representatives of two nations which made our Today possible to exist. The shooting was held on the territory of three countries – Russia, Belarus and France.

“The Sea Wolf: Creation of movie stories” Film Company, Vladivostok free port resident has represented a new documentary film dedicated to tragic story of disqualification of all Russian athletes in November, 2015 to a big audience.

Why this story is so important to us. Because today sports have lack of presumption of innocence and it is really the thing needed to people who dedicated their lives to sports. And exactly this principle was roughly violated in 2015.

A sportsman is always clean. A sportsman is always considered to be following anti-doping rules until it is proved to be otherwise in court. A sportsman cannot be disclaimed of participation in the Olympic games without prove of his direct and first-hand violation of anti-doping rules. Olympic committee must let sportsman to participate in the Olympics if such violation has not been proved in court. The film story is based on Russian sportsman Aleksey Fedorov’s story – a convinced opponent of doping. Nevertheless, because of loud doping scandal there was made a decision to disqualify all Russian athletes without exception and removed them from all Olympic starts. On this background a retrospective of events is shown – from full of hopes Olympic games preparation to tragic disclaim from participation against the background of  “the Olympic year” events.
