The participants and guests of the International Children’s TV Festival “Maliatko” which took place in Kharkiv with the assistance of the Kharkiv Regional Council visited Feldman Ecopark. Several hundreds of young TV workers, film makers and animated cartoon artists from Ukraine and other countries made a walking-tour along the Regional Landscape Park with keen interest. Some of them managed not only to meet the Ecopark’s inhabitants, but also to carry out the survey for the future movies and TV programmes.
According to the participants of the festival, they were particularly interested in proud kings of nature – lions, swift-footed cheetahs, black little panther Noir and its spotty girlfriend, the most cheerful Feldman Ecopark’s inhabitants – various apes, lemurs, raccoons and flamingoes: according to young directors, these animals are most appropriate for leading roles in their movies.
