Бумажные самолётики (2014 )
On a beautiful sunny morning, Jethro, an uncommon instructor, heads to an elementary school. He is an expert in paper planes, planning to demonstrate the art of paper plane folding to the students and to inform them of the State Competition for the Junior Championship next Sunday. The unexpected introduction to the world of competitive paper plane throwing will excite timid 12-year-old Dylan Weber, forcing him to do his best to beat the 25m qualification point and make it to the Aussie Junior Championships in Sydney. Before long, Dylan will get his ticket to compete, yet, with a father living in the past uninspired and resigned because of his wife's death in a car accident some five months ago, he will have to use his resourcefulness to come up with a winning paper plane model and all the help he can get to make his newfound dream a reality. With the ultimate goal set at the World Junior Paper Plane Championship in Tokyo, talented Dylan not only will he have to gather the sum for such. Written by Nick Riganas

For interested Perth residents: Did you know that the Japanese scenes where they are touring a pond and watching the Japanese make Japanese paper and screen printing, and also there is a scene where the Japanese martial artists are partaking in Kendo (which is the national sport of Japan), well these scenes were actually filmed in Perth at Willow Pond Reception Centre located in Canning Vale. The very special effect (otherwise known as CGI) is quite realistic as the city skyline in the backdrop of the gardens at Willow Pond Reception Centre and gardens. Of special mention also is that the martial artists who appear in the Kendo scene were actual students of the Budokan Martial Arts Academy located on the grounds of Willow Pond Reception Centre.

This film tells the story of a young Australian boy who just lost his mother to a car accident. He finds new purpose in life by making paper planes that fly far, and competes in interval international competitions.
"Paper Planes" has a predictable plot and is full of stereotypical characters, such as a fat bully and a naughty grandfather. Yet, the film is sweet and fun. It breathes of positivity and hope, encouraging children and adults to look on the bright side and believe in yourself. It reminds people to look out for each other and be supportive of people going through a tough time.
