Composer releases New Year clip urging to put aside the phone for communication (VIDEO)

Within the Russian national online project "Live", a New Year clip is released urging to put aside all gadgets and give attention, love and care to the closest people, reports Pravmir.

The project's author, composer and producer Igor Matvienko said: "Modern technologies change the format of communication between people. We are getting a little closer to each other, but at the same time moving away, even if we're in the same room. Our New Year clip is the story of dialogue, of communication, of love and that the main happiness is near and worth living for. "It is our family and friends who change us and we change them, making each other happy," thinks the producer.

The video clip tells the story of a girl whose main New Year dream is to spend more time with her mum, whose true and live communication she lacks. In the story the mother is always around, but all the time on her phone. Even at the children's matinee parents "listen" to the child’s poem through a smartphone camera’s eye.

The authors of the clip call even though the New Year to put aside all your gadgets on New Year Eve and give all your attention, love and care to those who really love and treasure.
