The Ministry of Culture refused to accept the film of the Rock studio Alexei Teacher "Treasure Yermak" due to the inconsistency of the declared scenario, Interfax reports . The department allocated a subsidy of 35 million rubles for shooting.
"Between the Ministry of Culture and LLC TPO ROCK, an agreement was concluded on the provision and targeted use of subsidies (35 million rubles) for the production of the National film" Call Ermaku "(working name:" Treasures of Ermaka "). The initially presented script did not correspond to the subsidy stated in the selection, which led to the refusal of the film, ”the press service of the Ministry of Culture said.
The department stated that they would take the picture, and the studio will be fined for transferring the deadline for the delivery of the film.
A script was presented to the contest in the Ministry of Culture about the adventures of the student, who found a casket belonging to someone from the Stroganov dynasty, and went on the trail of the treasure of the Cossack chieftain, conqueror of Siberia Ermak Timofeevich.
Director Ilya Kazankov shot a picture, the genre of which he defined as "Road-Mui, comedy, and" Naive Drama. "According to the plot, an eight-year-old girl persuades a middle-aged universal actor Yermak Myshkin to take part in the samples for the role in Musikla and goes with him from St. Petersburg to Moscow.
The teacher himself recognized the case of the Ministry of Culture. According to him, the studio changed the script due to the inability to shoot in a planned place and the desire to "make the film more artistic." “And we shot the film, showed it, and the expert council of the Ministry of Culture in children's cinema confirmed that the film turned out to be high -quality and good,” the head of the studio said.
The teacher emphasized that there is no conflict situation with the ministry. “I hear the first time about the fine,” he said. In the near future, a joint statement of the department and the film studio that the situation will be resolved during 2017 will be published.
If the question arises about the shooting, this will be at the expense of the studio, the teacher noted, and we will talk about another picture. "This film, which we did," call Ermaku, "will release and try to go on television and in the box office," he said.
This is not the first conflict around the teacher lately. State Duma deputy Natalya Poklonskaya is actively opposing his film "Matilda". On January 30, she sent a request to the Prosecutor General with a request to re -check the legality of the spending of budget funds allocated by the Film Foundation to create a picture. According to the deputy, the Matilda script should be verified by the expert commission from among the professional historians and representatives of the church, since "in the film the main characters are persons, officially canonized - holy sovereign Nikolai II, Sovereign Alexander Feodorovna, Grand Duchess Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Prince Aleksey."
At the same time, according to Poklonskaya, "the role of St. Nicholas the Second was played by Lara Audinger, a German actor who performed Porkino Role earlier in the film by Peter Greenai" Goltsius and Pelicani Company. "
"Russia is presented in the film as a country of gallows, drunkenness and fornication. It is impossible to allow a film that is a conscious anti -historical fake to discredit, mockery and slander over one of the most revered saints of our church - the king of the denture Nikolai Second and his family members," the deputy request, is released in mass rental.
Poklonskaya sent the first request to the Prosecutor General in November 2016 . Poklonskaya explained that on her initiative, conducting art, historical and other research is more difficult to organize, and the process itself will be long. As part of the check within the framework of the Code of Criminal Procedure, everything will go much faster and more efficiently.
On February 8, the teacher sent two statements to the General Prosecutor's office regarding Poklonskaya and the leadership of the organization "Christian state - Holy Russia." The latter has spread letters with threats of cinema owners in the event of a Matilda rental. The teacher asks "to protect the team of the film, employees of rental organizations from further threats, other illegal actions of an extremist person, as well as from the publicly distributed slanderous fabrications of the Madame Poklonskaya themselves."
