The jury evaluated their documentary and news story

Kirill Lukin, a third-year Media Communications student at UrFU Ural Institute of Humanities, and Diana Kovando, a graduate of UrFU Faculty of Journalism, became winners of the VII All-Russian TV contest "Student TEFI". The awarding ceremony was held on April 19 at the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography.

Kirill Lukin's short film "Phase" became the best in the Documentary Film category. The main character Kirill made the grandfather of his friend, Afghan war veteran Aleksandr Fomin (call sign "Phase"). The film was made as a final work on the Drama Fundamentals course.

"The idea came spontaneously, when my friend and I were talking about people of the older generation. They were born in a completely different country, at a different time, and events of such magnitude fell on their adulthood that we cannot understand. Each such person is a portal to the past, and unfortunately, when they pass away, the passage closes. This is why such stories should be greedily absorbed while there is an opportunity," Kirill said.

In turn, in the Information story category finalist was a graduate of the Faculty of Journalism Diana Covando with the work " What in Russia made the noble maidens happy? Let's test sledging". It was broadcasted on Channel 4. Earlier Diana became a winner of "Student TEFI".

The winners received the competition's signature statuettes.
