The Dyatlov Pass TV series, which tells about the mysterious death of young Soviet tourists in 1959, is included in the main competition program of the Geneva Film Festival, which will be held from November 6 to 15, TASS reports.
The potential of the Russian multi-part film was confirmed this year at the Berlin Film Festival, where the rights to the international screening of Dyatlov's Pass were acquired by one of the Beta Films company. The premiere of the series by Evgeny Nikishov and Valery Fedorovich will take place at the Geneva Film Festival.
During the preparation of the project, the creators were able to get acquainted with the materials of the investigation of the events at the Dyatlov Pass, which were previously classified. At the end of the series, a solution to the death of a group of students is given. The events of 1959 were filmed on 16 mm film to resemble the stylization of Soviet black and white cinema of those years.
Last summer, the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia announced that during the investigation it was possible to determine the cause of the death of the Dyatlov group. Investigators found evidence that the students died in a aftermath of the Northern Ural avalanche.
