Today, many Russian regions are striving to become film and television industry hubs. But shortage of qualified film professionals remains one of the main problems. Industry experts point out a shortage of professional film production staff, directors, screenwriters, photographers and producers. This is partly due to the regions’ lack of robust educational programs and educational institutions focused on film industry. What changes have been introduced to the film industry educational programs in the recent years? What successful training programs exist in the regions? What joint Russia and BRICS countries educational programs can be implemented? Is the system of launching regional film schools capable of solving the issue of personnel shortage in the regions?
