The team of the Media Institute clinches the Student TEFI finalists
The team presented the information program "It on the Maps" for the competition. They filmed it during the last academic year as part of the project seminar "Television production" under the guidance of Natalia Anatolyevna Stelmak. In their project 3rd year students of the educational program "Journalism" Vladislav Kazantsev, Maria Arefyeva, Dmitry Kruglov, Alexey Popkov, Maria Miller, Danil Sytor and Alisa Gorenburg touched upon the topic of preserving the unique culture and language of the small nations of Russia in the context of globalisation and the spread of mass culture . They showed how enthusiasts, filmmakers and musicians strive to preserve the ethnic identity of multinational Russia today.

In the final of Student TEFI, organisers showed promotional videos of participating projects. Students of the Institute of Media received a diploma from the Academy of Russian Television. The three-day program included not only the solemn awards ceremony, the presentation of nominee projects, but also the curriculum: round tables, master classes, workshops, creative meetings with practising experts. Among the invited speakers were Vadim Takmenev, TV journalist, Deputy General Producer of JSC NTV Television Company, Anastasia Pak, projectы author and presenter of the NTV channel, Natalia Bilan, producer, director and screenwriter and others.
Although the project did not take the statuette, the authors intend to continue its development and try their hand at the All-Russian Television Student Competition next year.
