The message reads, in part:
“Over the past years, the Animated Film Association has united powerful creative forces in order to solve the pressing problems of modern times. Such forces include animated film studios, production and licensing companies, as well as specialized educational and public organizations. Your meaningful contribution to the development of the legendary traditions of our animated film industry and its promotion both in our country and abroad deserves profound respect. And, of course, one of the Association’s important areas of focus has been the attraction of talented young people and providing them the necessary training to prosper in this unique cinematographic field.”
