π Tender Overview
Rostelecom has completed filming the second season of the social film project "Because We Are Family" and launched open film screenings and public discussions in the cities participating in the project. The main characters of the new season are children and their parents from different regions of Russia, and the topic of family conversation is feelings, trust and safety. A sincere conversation on the screen today offers a new look at family relationships in a complex digital world, to discuss complex issues of online interaction and new cyber threats.
On January 17, 2025, the premiere of the second season's opening film took place at the Orekhovo-Zuyevo Community Center. Residents of the city, five teenage children and their parents, became the heroes of the first documentary film revelation. More than 200 people saw it on the big screen: friends and relatives of the project participants, ordinary parents with children like them, as well as social educators and psychologists from city schools. After the screening, viewers took part in an open discussion on the topics covered in the film. The heroes themselves and representatives of the film crew answered the audience's questions.
The next open screenings will be held in Tula (January 20), Cheboksary (January 21), Nizhny Novgorod (January 22), Voronezh (January 23), Volgograd (January 31). They will be attended by local residents who agreed to take part in the filming and talk frankly about their feelings, experiences and worries.
Irina Lebedeva, Vice President for Mass Segment Products at Rostelecom, Deputy General Director for Commercial Activities at T2:
βThe Internet and digital services have already become an integral part of our lives, including for the youngest online users. Today, children actively watch videos on the Internet, listen to music, play games, and also communicate on social networks and take educational courses. In this new reality, they inevitably face new challenges and risks. The heroes of βFilm Revelationsβ shared their observations about what worries the older generation now and what problems and doubts children face. On the part of Rostelecom, we strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment for this dialogue, which continues beyond the film project. Our task is not only to provide access to the Internet, but also to build an innovative secure space with useful and exciting content for the whole family. To this end, together with subsidiaries T2 and GC βSolarβ, we have developed a special subscription βMiXX Together β. It will provide reliable protection against cyber threats, provide access to useful educational and entertainment services, as well as various bonuses from our partners.β
The films of the first season of the project "Rostelecom" were created and presented in 2024 as part of the Year of the Family. The cinematic revelations received a lively response from a wide audience, so the filming of the second season took place in December last year. Now the heroes of the mini-films are families from Central Russia, the Volga region and the South.
The first season of the cinematic revelations "Because We Are Family" is available on the project's website , as well as in the film library of the Wink video service. After the series of open film screenings in Russian cities is completed, the second season will also be available online.
