“It was basically my first directing job ['Moomins']. I was assigned to do one episode, and Nina Shorina (the director of the next episodes) - because she was already experienced. We didn't read the book, so the first thing we did was go to the library. They took a completely shabby copy and copied it by hand - we were not allowed to take it home. And this is good: if we just read a fairy tale, we would not feel all the depth that lies in it.”
