Dear friends!

We are the film crew of ”Ilibembertya” documentary. Now we are gathering money for the main person in the film, reindeer breeder Vitya Hoodie. Vitya lives in Russia, on the Yamal peninsula. He lives of the reindeer breeding traditional for the locals. Yamal is a remote place with severe climate: the temperature can fall below –50 degrees centigrate in winter.

Last year Yamal was hit by a disaster: unusual climate conditions led to death of about 100000 reindeer. Sudden rains and cold covered the earth with a double ice layer, the reindeer could not reach moss and died of hunger.

All the reindeer that Vitya had — about 200 heads — died. For a reindeer breeder it means a slow death of hunger and cold. One has noone to drive fire wood with, noone to drive for fishing and hunting. Vitya went on foot to the nearest village to earn some living as he has to feed the wife and three little children. But the village is 60km away from his chum, and he has to walk a whole day through the tundra. Besides, Vitya can not and does not want to give up reindeer breeding and move to a village or a town, since then he may loose everything and end up on the street.

We met Vitya when he came to the village for his earnings. At first we had planned to make the film about nenets calendar rituals and Ilibembertya-god who, according to the legend, turned the nenets people into reindeer breeders. We were planning to visit the main nenets shrine Yamal-He. Vitya asked us to take him with us: he wanted to sacrifice to Ilibembertya and beg the god for bringing reindeer back to Yamal. Thus Vitya became the main character in our film. Now we want to help him buying reindeer. But the reindeer are expensive on the Yamal peninsula: the price of one deer is about 20 000 rubles (300–400 euro). And to lead a normal life a reindeer breeder needs six or seven harnesses. We can’t manage it without your help. Help us to buy reindeer for Vitya.

We started a crowdfunding project at Boomstarter. Everything is in Russian there, but you can use the automatic translation in any browser. To transfer the money for Vitya you have to register. It is possible either with an e-mail account or with Facebook. You can transfer money with a Bank card, mobile phone or WebMoney. When paying by card no comission is charged. The minimum amount is 50 rubles.

We hope that the lack of English version will not prevent you from your desire to help Vitya, and say thank you in advance.
