Part 1. "The Inhabited Island"

Despite the fact that in 2008, technology already allowed you to draw on a computer any, even the most fantastic landscape, Crimea remained a popular film site for filming. Therefore, the film crew of Director Fyodor Bondarchuk, who decided to film the work of the Strugatsky brothers "Inhabited Island", went to the Peninsula. So, the Crimea turned into an unknown planet Saraksh, where, due to an emergency landing, the main character gets. Locations for filming were: Mirnovskaya wind power station near lake Donuzlav, Inkermansky and Starokrymsky quarries, Nikitskaya cleft, Biyuk-ashlam valley in the Bakhchisaray region, coniferous forests above Alupka and the ruins of the plant by Voykov in Kerch. Many scenes were shot in Morskoye, using an impressive unfinished building-the unfinished sanatorium of Novolipetsk metallurgical plant. In the future, with the help of computer technology, the vacant floors are turned into urban back streets.

Part 2. “Prisoner of the Caucasus, or Shurik’s New Adventures”

to the Sunny Caucasus, where many different incidents also happen! It is a 1966 Soviet comedy produced by Mosfilm and directed by the comic genius Leonid Gaiday. The plot was moved to the Sunny Caucasus (although everything was shot in the Crimea), which gives the film a special flavour and atmosphere. In addition, the main character himself travels in order to learn more about new traditions and customs of other people. This is provided to us, and in large quantities. These are also incredibly beautiful shooting locations - endless fields, breathtaking mountain peaks and stormy rivers demonstrate the beauty of the Soviet South. These are national costumes, music, dances, customs, as well as famous toasts that have become very popular among the people! Humour is in the best traditions of Gaiday comedies. And still as relevant and funny as it was many years ago. These are phrases that have received the status of idioms, and a lot of funny situations: and unsuccessful attempts to kidnap the famous 'song about bears', negotiations in a restaurant, meeting the groom, attempts to escape from a madhouse and the final chase. Comedies that will not lose their relevance in a half a century, their characters still continue to be loved, and jokes still amuse and make you laugh.
