We live on Arkaim
RUSSIA, 2022, 7’27’’
Director: Vyacheslav Alekseenko – Producer: Alexandra Pigalova
What is Arkaim? An archaeological monument of the Bronze Age, a nature reserve in the Southern Urals, a place covered with many legends, or a point of attraction for tourists from all over the world? The cartoon will answer these questions and tell the story of the Arkaim Valley from the Paleozoic to the present.
Gennady Borisovich Zdanovich, a legendary archaeologist, professor, Doctor of Historical Sciences, who revealed Arkaim to the world, became a guide through millions of years of human history. Along with Gennady, the viewer will rush through the epochs and cultures that have been replacing each other for thousands of years on the territory of the Arkaim Valley.
‘We live on Arkaim’ is a cartoon tale about the connection of times. This is a story about people who thousands of years ago met the dawn here, worshipped the gods, worked and tried to understand their place on this earth. This is the cosmogonic history of creation — not of the world, but of us today.
