On 4
September, as part of the business programme of the 5th Eastern
Economic Forum, a session will take place on ‘Cultural
People: Projects to Enhance the Intellectual and Cultural Level of Education’. Topics for
discussion at the event will include access to culture, the importance of a
cultural education, and increasing interest in Russia’s cultural
assets at the national and international level.
American film
producer and director Martha De Laurentiis will take part in the discussion.
She has made over 40 films together with her late husband, the legendary film producer
Dino De Laurentiis, including major features such as King Kong Lives (1986),
Hannibal (2001), Hannibal Rising (2007) and Red Dragon (2002). One of Martha De
Laurentiis’ more recent productions
was the critically acclaimed television series Hannibal, which aired on
American network NBC. De Laurentiis has also headed three international film
studios: Screen Gems, Warner Brothers / Village Roadshow, and CLA-De Laurentiis
Studios. The session will see the producer share her experience in the world of
cinema and evaluate the film industry’s potential
for development in the Asia-Pacific region and Russia’s Far East.
The Far East
has been attracting more and more attention from filmmakers in recent years,
with Asian directors such as Sammo Hung and Kiyoshi Kurosawa using Vladivostok
as a filming location. Furthermore, the Pacific Meridian international film
festival of Asia-Pacific countries has been held annually in Vladivostok since
2003.
The 5th
Eastern Economic Forum will take place on 4–6 September in
Vladivostok.
