Interesting facts

The Riot is a 2021 Russian thriller drama film directed by documentary filmmaker Yevgeny Grigorev, which became his feature film debut. It stars Yura Borisov, Elizaveta Yankovskaya, and Pavel Derevyanko.

Production

The script of the film is based on real events. The author has been preparing for the launch of the picture since 2011. In 2020, Yevgeny Grigorev participated with a project in the Berlinale Talents laboratory, and the project was also included in the official selection of the MIA film market in Italy.

The production was carried out with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. Filming took place 350 kilometers from Perm in the selo of Kyn. The actors lived there for two months - such a condition was set by the director of the project.

The main role was played by a boy, Yaroslav Mogilnikov, a 13-year-old native of the town of Lysva, located in the Perm Territory. The seventh grader never thought about the career of an actor. In ordinary life, he plays football, KNV and listens to rap, so the invitation to audition for the film was a big surprise for him. The boy was chosen from 200 candidates.

Principal photography process started in early February 2021 in the selo of Kyn, Lysvensky District, Perm Krai. Filming also took place on the Chusovaya River, near the Pechka rock, the Giant stone and at the Holy Trinity Church. The entire team of the film faced abnormal weather conditions and worked on the set in a temperature of -35 degrees.
