Soviet youths tour
America, make film
FREEPORT (AP) — Sixteen
young Soviet film enthusiasts filed
into the video production depart
ment of the Dow Chemical Co.
speaking broken but friendly “hel
los” to editors who would soon help
them add the final touches to a video
they recently filmed in America.
The students, ranging in age from
9 to 17, from Tbilisi, Georgia, spent
two weeks in America recendy as
part of a Galveston area-Soviet
youth media exchange program
called Kids Make Movies.
Toward the end of their educatio
nal journey, which included a trip to
NASA, the University of Houston-
Clear Lake and Galveston, the stu
dents visited Dow to work with edi
tors and video production special
ists.
They will take the film back home
to show friends, family and a local
television station the American cul
ture they absorbed.
Roy Schneider, a video produc
tion specialist who contracts with
Dow, worked extensively through
out the day with the students.
“It was amazing to me to see that
children are children no matter
where they are from,” Schneider
said after the visit. “Their thoughts,
their ambitions, what they did, what
they talked about were the same as
American children at the same age.”
Schneider said the students
seemed to be very ambitious in their
endeavors.
“They didn’t want to break for
lunch because they were working —
American kids are the opposite,” he
said.
Schneider said he let the Soviet
students prepare the first few min
utes of the film completely on their
own.
“We let them make decisions and
I would press the buttons,” he said.
“I would lead them a little ... because
most children and people new to
production want to use all the toys.
“I would try to lead them in the
area of sometimes less is more,” he
said.
Schneider said the Soviet students
belong to an after-school filmmak
ing class where they work with
crude, simple materials in film, and
most of them had never seen or
worked with video tapes.
“They were amazed at electronics
and the speed of editing videos,” he
said.
The students caught on quickly,
and during their two-week trip they
created a five-minute program with
a musical introduction, followed by
interviews with workers from NAS A
and the Soviet students’ reactions to
the space center.
Natia Tsiskarishvili, 14, mostly be
came entranced by a graphics dem
onstration given on a Macintosh
computer while the other students
worked editing the film.
She watched her name spelled out
and spun around on the terminal’s
screen.
Tsiskarishvili, who speaks En
glish, said she most enjoyed visiting
NASA and the university and will
tell her friends about her “very nice”
host family.
Sergo Buiglishvili, 15, also speaks
English and is a student who re
cently produced and directed an
award-winning film. The film, “The
Last Bell” is based on the death of a
classmate during a political demon
stration in Soviet Georgia. It was re
cently honored at the Odessa Film
Festival as a top student film.
Buiglishvili said he was very im
pressed with the seriousness of
meetings by organizations in Amer
ica.
“It is very official, these meeting
with people who do such important
and good things,” he said.
He said all the students were
amazed that they were able to be in
side of the space center, talk to astro
naut Story Musgrave, and shoot the
movie.
“Our mission is to make joint
films,” he said. “It’s very interesting
to work together. The Georgian kids
are learning from American kids
and American kids are learning
from Georgian kids how to work to
gether.”
Kim Crabbs, an American visual
artist, founded Kids Make Movies in
1988 after she recognized a need for
kids to have a vehicle to express their
ideas.
“The last six years I have worked
with kids giving them an opportu
nity to control images themselves,”
she said.
