The film "Return to my Krasnoselsky" to be presented at the Presidential Library

On April 26, 2023 at 16:00 the Presidential Library, as part of a cinema club meeting, will broadcast a documentary "Return to my Krasnoselsky", dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Krasnoselsky district of St. Petersburg.

Founded on April 13, 1973 the Krasnoselsky district became significant for the whole of St. Petersburg, since it was on this land that the firing line of the defence of Leningrad passed during the Great Patriotic War.

The film "Return to my Krasnoselsky" was created with the participation of residents of the Krasnoselsky district, who tell about their small homeland, share memories of life in this area since its foundation, tell about public spaces, architectural objects and houses that have disappeared forever.

“Initially, we wanted to tell the story of the Krasnoselsky district through the stories of its inhabitants”, - says director Maria Gulyako. – We met a romantic who perceives the surrounding reality through the prism of creativity and art; working, loving and knowing the place where he lives; a woman who, as a child, walked with her father around the Krasnoselsky district, and these walks shaped her - it was as if we looked into the windows to completely different people. And they saw themselves”.

Opening remarks at the Presidential Library’s meeting will be made by Svetlana Zhikarentseva, Deputy Director of the Centralized Library System of the Krasnoselsky District; employee of the Intellect Library and Information Center Galina Zinkevich and film director Maria Gulyako.
