Dreams that change the world: Igor Kozhelin invites participation in the video essay contest

The future begins with a dream — and a dream is born in the heart of each of us. In the second season of the All-Russian video essay contest "Dreams of the Future", young talents can bring their ideas to life in vivid video pieces and share them with the entire country. Igor Kozhelin, Director General and co-founder of the Russian space IT company SR Data, invites everyone to join the new season of the project.

The expert is convinced that it is bold ideas and belief in one’s dream that give rise to major discoveries: "Thirty years ago, I dreamed that one day I would build my own spacecraft and begin exploring outer space. And now I am gradually moving towards my dream. I believe that you have a great number of ambitions and aspirations. <...> Register and take part. I am confident that it is your dreams that will change this world in the future. Go for it — you will succeed!"

The All-Russian video essay contest "Dreams of the Future" is an original project of the National Centre RUSSIA dedicated to promoting the legacy of Russian and Soviet science fiction. Participants are given a unique opportunity for creative self-expression: in their contest entries, they will show what kind of future they want to create and will be able to reinterpret the ideas and narratives of science fiction writers whose works have shaped the imagination of millions of readers around the world. The project aims to engage the younger generation in research, creative, and innovative activities, and to foster interest in science fiction literature.

The best video works will be presented on the big screen during the final of the contest at the National Centre RUSSIA. Winners will also receive valuable prizes and opportunities for further development in their creative careers. More information about the contest and how to apply is available at dream.russia.ru.
