The Film "My Grandfather" Directed By Svyatoslav Vlasov Won Three Awards At The Listapad International Film Festival In Minsk

A film shot in the Krasnoyarsk Krai is winning festivals.

My Grandfather, directed by Svyatoslav Vlasov and produced by Mustang Film, won three awards in the main feature film competition at the Listapad International Film Festival in Minsk:

• Prize for Contribution to the Preservation of Spiritual, Moral, Cultural, and Historical Values
• Prize for Best Actor in a Feature Film – Vladimir Gostyukhin
• Audience Award

The story takes place in the Siberian taiga. 12-year-old orphan Vanya, suffering from a rare phobia, lives with his grandfather, who denies his diagnosis. After a risky so-called “treatment”, their lives are in danger—and now only Vanya, overcoming his fear, can save them both.

The main film shooting locations in Krasnoyarsk Krai were: Krasnoyarsk Stolby National Park, a farmstead in the Berezovsky District, the village of Mina, the banks of the Mana River, and the outskirts of Divnogorsk and the Yemelyanovsky District.

The project was created with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

The renowned actors as Vladimir Gostyukhin, Irina Pegova, Artyom Tkachenko, and Vsevolod Klimenok participated in the film shooting. The lead role of the grandson was played by a young actor.

The film’s producer is Yegor Shorokhov (Smart Masha, The Disobedient One, Undercover Standup, Olivier), originally from Igarka, Krasnoyarsk Krai.

It is worth noting that the Law On State Support for Cinematography (No. 4-1300 of November 24, 2022) has been in effect in Krasnoyarsk Krai since January 1, 2023. It is considered for support provision of national films that are produced in the region.

Since 2022, the region’s cinematography has been actively developing: major motion picture companies have shown increased interest in film shooting in the region. Only in 2024–2025, 17 feature films were produced in Krasnoyarsk Krai.
