Time before the WorldSkills Kazan 2019 is bleeding off the clock. On 22 August 2019, the major opening ceremony of the Competition will take place at the Kazan Arena Stadium.

The WorldSkills Kazan 2019 Competition Organizer has announced the launch of the video clip contest for talented directors and camera operators, professionals and amateurs from all corners of Russia.

The authors of the best works will get invitation letters for the ceremony (the winner will be provided with a free flight to Kazan).

IDEA

Since ancient times, Russian culture has been built on respect for craftsmen and masters. It was impossible to survive without having skills, that is why everyone mastered one or another craft to some extent, but only a few people achieved recognition. Some crafts have become widely known and turned into symbols of Russia abroad, while others have barely survived in the deep countryside. But they all left a rich cultural heritage and contributed to the development of other industries.

GOAL

Show the native shore in all its glory: city life, nature, people, mainly – arts and crafts which convey the philosophy of skills.
