SALT – First Russian film featuring Sea Kayaking

I just got an email from Ann Zavadskaya, who I met at WILD9 through the WILD9 Young Professionals Program, about the first Russian movie on sea kayaking.  It’s a non-commercial movie, so it can be seen online and downloaded by anyone who’s interested!  Right now, you can watch the trailer and see some great pics of their adventure, and following the Festival of Kayaking VideoFest in Riga the full length movie will be available for download on the SALT website, which has more information about the project.

Ann reports “The movie was filmed in summer 2009 at the Eastern coast of Kamchatka.  In this expedition twelve kayakers from Kamchatka, Moscow and St. Petersburg took part.  Six participants were women…We are grateful to all people who took part in the filming of this movie.”  kayaker.ru was the general sponsor of the project.

Ann Zavadskaya is a post-graduate student, faculty of geography at Lomonsov Moscow State University and a staff scientist at Kronotsky State Natural Biosphere Preserve (Kamchatka, Russia).
