On June 10, the premiere of the film "The Master of the Altai Mountains" took place in Rostov-on-Don. Ali Uzdenov, a resident of Rostov and founder of the Interregional Association "Irbis", became the author of the idea and producer of the first Russian feature film about the endangered animal. Rostov residents enthusiastically accepted the picture, and then talked with screenwriter Daria Petrova and director Vadim Vitovtsev.

The film was shot by directors Vadim Vitovtsev and Ilya Tsyganov in Sailyugemsky National Park in the Altai Republic on the initiative and with the support of the Interregional Association "Center for the Study and Conservation of the Snow Leopard "Irbis". The team has been working on the painting for three years and has been on several large-scale expeditions on the trails of snow leopards.

A large team of more than 40 people worked on the "Master of the Altai Mountains", including members of the film crew, employees of the Interregional Association "Center for the Study and Conservation of the Snow Leopard "Irbis" and employees of the Sailugemsky National Park, where filming took place. The cameramen managed to capture unique footage of the most elusive and mysterious cat in the world and the incredible beauty of the Altai Republic. The film was voiced by zoologist and TV presenter Nikolai Drozdov and actor Konstantin Khabensky. For the first time in history, viewers will see such a detailed film about the life of snow leopards. Thus, the film crew managed to capture the amazing life of Tural, when he turns from a kitten into an adult cat and starts his own family.
"How warmly the audience received us in a southern way, what an interesting discussion, questions after the show. Your emotions and feedback have touched our hearts so much! We are inspired by what we have achieved and invite residents of Russian cities to watch the film. Starting June 13 in all cinemas of the country!"
