Feature short film “Sprint to the past ”- is the debut author's project of Selkin Fedor. Artistic director of this project is Kristina Kevish. The famous Russian actors Alexandr Slastin, George Prosalovsky and masters of sport of academic rowing are involved into this film, as well as the director of photography Alexandr Mazur, who was working in camera crew in the last several films of Alexandr Sokurov & Alexei Popogrebsky.

The film tells the story of one of the most beautiful sports-rowing, about the fate of its athletes and their memories in our days. It is the story about the three friends, their sporting rivalry in the early 1980e,but it was in the past...

The main idea of the film is not only to show the rowing but also to understand the feeling of the main hero, to show the relationship between the characters, to show the situation in sport in our times, that situation is typical not only in sport but in many other spheres of life in Russia. Very good words of Sergey ( one of the main characters ) - “ It worked out like that ! “ also reflects the situation in the life of Russia in our times.
