Before the start of the screening, Anna Melikyan thanked the producers Ekaterina Konanenko, Dmitry Litvinov, as well as the Kinopoisk online service, where the film “Anna’s Feelings” will be presented in the future.
“But the most important thing is that I want to thank the person next to me (Anna Mikhalkova), because this script was written specifically for the actress. No casting was planned for another actress,” Melikyan said. —And this person is my co-author in this film. Probably, in a film like this, there is no other way. It is true that we walked this path together. And for me Anna is an acting discovery, but most importantly it is a great human discovery.”
Mikhalkova plays an employee at the Perm chocolate factory. Anna is a completely normal woman who lives with her husband and her two children. However, everything in her life changes after a fall, as a result of which she hits her head and begins to hear voices from extraterrestrial civilizations.
By the way, the film was shot in a working factory in Perm. And the city itself was not chosen by chance as a filming location. It is in the Perm Territory, in the village of Molebka, that the famous Molebka Triangle is located – one of the anomalous zones of Russia. It was here that in 1983 a Perm geologist discovered a round trail with a diameter of more than 60 meters, and local residents repeatedly heard strange sounds in the forest and saw a UFO. Since the late 1980s, an authentic pilgrimage to this place began not only from the entire country, but also from the world.

The film “Anna’s Feelings” was shot in a now rare black and white format. The famous TV presenter Ekaterina Andreeva played herself in the film, from the screens she broadcasts about the expedition to Mars.
In one of the scenes, the heroine Anna Mikhalkova appears completely naked. By the way, now Mikhalkova, 49, is much thinner than her character in the film. For the premiere, the actress chose a silver dress with sequins, a black velvet cape and modern ballet flats.

Kurkova’s ex-husband, Artem Tkachenko, appeared with his wife Ekaterina Steblina. The show was also attended by Andrey Merzlikin, Sabina Akhmedova and Evgeny Stychkin.
