The “Around Vitya” project took part in the competition program of the main Russian cartoon festival — the Open Russian Festival of Animated Film.
From March 20 to 25, 2024, the 29th Open Russian Festival of Animated Film was held in Suzdal, Vladimir Region — the main event for all figures of this art form, the largest professional review of Russian animation.
Traditionally, the attention of the festival participants was riveted to the competition program, which included the newest author’s works, series, commercials, and full-length animated films. This year, a record number of applications were submitted for participation in the festival — 430 (last year 381). Another achievement in the entire history of Suzdalfest: a maximum of 27 new projects were submitted for the “series” competition category. Of these, 14 projects were included in the competition.
Producer Alena Sycheva, production designer Polina Merkulova and lead animator of the project Liliya Arslanova presented their work to the participants of the review.
