"Kinotavr." 30 years later

From June 9 to 16, the film festival will be held in Sochi. The country's main national show will celebrate the anniversary of a rich program

Two contests: a full meter and short films. “Cinema in the square” is a show of films. Business program with the central event - forum of film schools. According to the latest calculations, there are already more than three dozen of them. And their future is a big question. For example, having sent his release from Kabardino-Balkaria to professional swimming, Alexander Sokurov does not intend to recruit students anymore. In his republic, his graduates were not useful. Meanwhile, Sokurov's students participate in the most prestigious film took place, receive awards.

“Short” films were sent as much as 414. Twenty -six were left. The qualifying commission watched 75 full -length work. Of these, 50 are projects independent of budget financing. The program director of Sitor Aliyev speaks of the main trends: a cinema independent of the state and a tangible feminization. And here is Russian cinema - in the line of global routes. Almost half of the competitive films were shot once by the “weak sex”, today giving heads to men.

Sitor Aliyeva believes that feminization in Russian is not so much heated by scandals in the filming-as in the West-how many

“It is fed with the features of national hunting for budget and extra -budgetary funds for shooting: men are more often surrendered in the struggle for the budget. Women in this race today are stronger, ready to stubbornly achieve their own. This struggle for the budget, for the support of the Film Foundation, the Ministry of Culture, investors gave us a whole galaxy of not only directors, but also producers who can argue with men in terms of success. ”

The theme of the family becomes almost the main one. The “loyalty” of Nigina Sayfullaeva (“What is my name”) - about ways to preserve the decaying family life. In “Let's Dissive” Anna Parmas, a woman for thirty begins the struggle for her husband, whom she intends to take away. Anna Mikhalkova, Anton Filipenko, Nadezhda Markina starred in the film. “Above the sky” Oksana Karas (“good boy”) is a story of first love. The actress “Gogol Center” and the finalist of the show “Voice” Jan Ge already composed the second painting “Trinity”. About treason, an attempt to distinguish true faith from formal. Larisa Sadilova also participates in the competition with his film “Once in Trubchevsk”, whose premiere took place in Cannes. The film Grigory Dobrygina "Sheena667" attracted the attention of the distributors in the Berlin film market. Also a movie about treason, but rather exotic - on the Internet.

From the panorama of family cinema, the thriller “Kurator” - the debut of Peter Levchenko, which is based on the loud story of the “Krasnogorsky shooter”, falls out. “Mental Wolf” is a parable about fear performed by one of the radical film enactors of Valeria Gai Germanicur (“Everyone will die and I will remain”, “School”). And Germanican has the main characters - mother and daughter.

Alexander Lungin will show the picture “Big Poetry” about what can lead to the fascination with the poetic art of ordinary collectors of the bank. The heroine of the film “Kerosene” Yusup Zakykov is a granny, who lives in the guard at the Big Road, in Russia it is unsafe. Yuri Bykov, who recently introduced the thriller “Plant”, managed to remove the new work “Watchtower”. A meeting with a pair of fugitives will change his life about a recluse working as a watchman in a small sanatorium.

In the main competition, there are six debuts (it is good that there is no separate debut competition, and novice directors on an equal footing with the pro show their work). Among them is the most curious - the “bull” of Boris Akopov about the “dashing nineties”. The hero of the film is the leader of the criminal group, forced to earn in any way to feed the family. “Russian Boy” is the artistic work of Alexander Zolotukhin, the debutant, the student of Alexander Sokurov. Almost the first time the events of Russian author’s cinema unfold against the background of the First World War.

The festival of Valery Todorovsky “Odessa” will open - about his childhood, about how in 1970 the city was closed in connection with the cholera epidemic.

The festival will end with a significant premiere. The "Frenchman" by Andrei Smirnov - about the turning point - the end of the fifties.

The jury of the main competition will be headed by Konstantin Khabensky.
