Pavel Chukhray, director::

It is a great honor for me to receive this Award from the Moscow Jewish Film Festival. I have always been astounded by the qualities of the Jewish people. They have lived through so much during the course of history, and despite all the difficulties have retained a powerful sense of humor, recognizable all over the world. Those are wonderful people, and it is an immense pleasure to be making films about them.
