Description:

Comedic animated skits about the benefits of sport and exercise made by students of the Kharkov Polytechnic Institute in April 1969.

This film is a relatively rare example of a surviving video from one of the many university/institute amateur film studios that existed in the USSR, whose productions have mostly not been catalogued by film databases such as animator.ru

Due to lack of equipment (reserved for the major professional studios such as Soyuzmultfilm and Kievnauchfilm), the students made their animations on black & white film, using cutout figures and only musical accompaniment instead of spoken dialogue; techniques very similar to those used by the very first Soviet animated films of the 1920s.

There is no actual credited director, but G. D. Parhomenko is credited with the script and animation, A. Faustov and Yu. Brodskiy formed the artistic council, and there were 11 other people involved.
