The cartoon about Gennady Nevelsky, created with the support of the FEDC, is ready to be shown to viewers

On September 24, 2026, the full-length animated film "Captain Nevelskoy and the Land of the Black Dragon," created by the Khabarovsk-based animation studio “Mechtalet”, will be released in Russian cinemas. This adventure film with fantasy elements is dedicated to the legendary Far East explorer Gennady Nevelskoy and inspired by the events of the first Amur expedition. The project was implemented with the support of the Cinema Fund, the Government of Khabarovsk Region, JSC “Prosveshcheniye”, “VEB.RF”, and the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC). “Atmosfera Kino” is the film's distributor.

The plot follows Captain Nevelskoy and a girl named Nadya as they set out to explore the last blank spot on the map. They find themselves in an unusual world, meet its inhabitants, and fight to save these lands from poachers. The film is based on the true historical events that led to the Amur region and Sakhalin becoming part of Russia. According to director Gleb Pavlenko, the film addresses themes relatable to a teenage audience: finding one's own path, overcoming fears, and pursuing one's dreams.
