Another fairy tale film based on A. Ostrovsky’s play about the Snow Maiden, filmed at the Belarusfilm film studio.

Twelve months, 1972

A fairy tale based on the play by S. Ya. Marshak. Another reminder of the New Year's miracle: on the eve of the holiday you can find not only snowdrops, but also true friends, love and justice.

New Year's adventures of Masha and Vitya, 1975

My favorite New Year's tale. Mikhail Boyarsky as Matvey the Cat is very good. I've been in love with him since childhood! This is a magical story about how first-graders Masha and Vitya find themselves in a fairy tale and save the Snow Maiden from Kashchei the Immortal.

"Nut Krakatuk", 1977

Musical film based on Hoffmann's fairy tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King". The story, somewhat interpreted in a new way, will be more interesting to schoolchildren than to kids.

The Secret of the Snow Queen, 1986

Another film based on a fairy tale by H.H. Andersen with the brilliant Alisa Freundlich in the title role. Only Kai and Gerda have become a little more mature, and the Snow Queen has a terrible secret... What? Find out by watching the fairy tale.

A fairy tale for children 4-5 years old with visual impairments “The Titmouse and the Naughty Winter.”

Titmouse and the naughty Winter

One day, the mischievous Winter flew into our forest on snowy horses. She waved her sleeve and fluffy white snow fell. It blew and big snowdrifts appeared. A blizzard whistled and arose, the forest began to hum.

A titmouse sits on a branch and cries: “I’m cold, I’m cold!”
