TV BRICS wins award with mining documentary at MineMovie festival

The documentary film "The Golden Coast of the Arctic" by TV BRICS became the laureate of the VI International "MineMovie" festival of short documentaries about the mining industry. The award ceremony was held in Moscow. The prize in the nomination "Best film on Innovation" was presented to Ksenia Komissarova, the author of the project "The Golden Coast of the Arctic", Editor-in-Chief of TV BRICS.

"Our film tells about one of the largest gold deposits in Russia: people who work in the harsh climatic conditions of Chukotka, and new technologies that make hard work in the Far North easier and safer. ‘The Golden Coast of the Arctic’ has already been published in the media of several BRICS+ countries and has been received with great interest by foreign audiences. In the Year of Russia's BRICS Chairmanship, the TV BRICS International Media Network is particularly focused on strengthening the country's international prestige, including the promotion of domestic technological developments and popularisation of the achievements of Russian industrial companies. Therefore, we are very pleased to receive high praise for our work and recognition of mining industry professionals"
