History
History
The initiator and artistic director of the award is Sergey Kapkov (screenwriter).
The award was established in 2014. The first ceremony took place on April 8, 2015, at the Central House of Cinematographers, funded by leading animation studios of the country. Distinctive features of the event from the very beginning were the animated stage and hall decorations in the style of a famous Russian animated film, as well as an animation jam session of collective authorship. The very first experience – the video clip "Tender Owls" – became a viral video on the Internet. In 2020, due to the pandemic, the ceremony was postponed to September 7 and was held in the Engineering Building of the Tretyakov Gallery. In 2021, the ceremony took place on September 9 at the renovated Khudozhestvenny cinema. In 2022, animators gathered on June 5 at the theater "School of Modern Play (theatre)". The award winners are determined by an expert council elected by general voting of the animation community. Initially, it included 35 authoritative representatives of the industry; since 2017, the number has increased to 50. • Creative producer of the award — director Alyona Oyatyeva • Executive producer — Alexandra Konstantinova • General director — producer Alexander Gerasimov (producer)
