Kinotavr expands the space of film screenings due to short films and series. We talk about the most interesting.

"Cold"

The problem of the short meter of this season is the desire of the authors to please the viewer, make him laugh, appease, guess expectations. Therefore, some films are similar to fragments of commercial series. A pair of non -effective bearded jokes. One, naturally, about a husband who suddenly returned from work (“hobby”), the other about the changer, he wanted to punish his father -in -law, and the alien aunt was punished: she raped the sweet -and -linked to the tree (“mushrooms”). Actual and subtle work "almost spring". About the elections, but without a bit of journalistic pathos or tear. An elderly teacher of literature with sore legs returns in a dark from school. He feeds a paralyzed husband with a soup. Writes on the dirty board the topic of the next essay. Teaches the good-eternal. And on his weekend, without any desire, the director of the director fulfills: he throws a pack of ballots at the polling station. In the evening, again with bags, he drags into a fragmented apartment in a multi -storey, long -standing house. “Get ready, go for the holiday” - a sketch from the life of a village, lost among the snowy mountains of the North Caucasus. The doctor (Daria Moroz) teaches local doctors to professional skills. And behind her, ten -year -old girls do traditional crippling operations - female circumcision. The cinema is amazingly beautiful, but the more monstrous barbarism that lives among this beauty seems more monstrous.

I liked the Black-Pernant comedy "Cold". About the fact that with our climate it is impossible to live or hope. Like two cops of a frozen fishing corpolar were carried in their UAZ. Yes, on the way, a scandalous family trembling at the stop was grabbed - with a strongly drinking dad and a strongly beating mother -in -law. So this car travels with a living and dead people along the ice road between high pines and snow.

"Wild heart"

In general, the authors of the black comedies turned out to be the headliners of the first days of the program. In the main competition, this is Kirill Sokolov with his film “Tear off and throw it away ”. Sokolov’s debut - “Dad, die” - a bloody author’s slasher, in which relations were clarified with a hammer and a drill. The follower of Guy Richie and Tarantino presented the picture in a slightly different genre. Also a black comedy, also about the relationship of generations - so to speak, another “family business”, but with a strong lyrical beginning.

If in the first brutal male cinema the relationship found out the father -in -law with the future son -in -law, and the daughter got a suffering role, then women decide everything in the new film.

Grandma, mom and daughter. The despotistical granny - Vera Pavlovna (again unrecognizable Anna Mikhalkova, who was reached by the grotesque) is ready to bury all the offspring behind the plinth, if only the granddaughter of Masha was nearby. At least on the chain, but together. Without a non-pound daughter-amusing, it is not known in whom the parting. Mom Olya (Victoria Korotkova) spent four years in prison for a fight with her husband-man (Alexander Yatsenko), to whom she pierced her eyes. So that he does not spread hands. Now, breaking Vera Pavlovna's nose, having stolen a ten-year-old daughter Masha (Sofia Krugova), runs with her with forests-rivals-just to far from the faith of Pavlovna and a one-eyed dad.

The world of dysfunctional family is flooded with blood, sewn with injuries - psychological and physical. Adults are decisively and inventively exterminated with the help of a stitching, cutting, shooting ... All hope for a spacer. The thought, of course, is not new, but not bad. However, the author goes further and displays the line of the second family with a counterpoint. In it, a wardrobe -like mother is the main overseer in the colony (chic, oil was written by Olga Lapshina). Her husband (Vitaly Haev) is a jerk with experience. But the adult son, raising his hand to his girlfriend, dreamed from childhood ... also to become an overseer. Because someone must guard the detainees! And unexpectedly, a suspicion creeps in the heart of the mother: maybe there is still some life? Without a barred windows?

The story is about the fact that it is not possible to start from the clean sheet. That our genes, the voice of blood, the “children's” are also the injuries that are not treated.

And injured children are not so much offended-scored as a long echo of their parents: they will just as much be injured by their own children.

It seems that the balance of cruelty and humor by the author in the film is carefully observed. But in the family thriller of Sokolov about crippling, but indestructible love, the minus was the desire to increase the lyrics, which weakens the spring-rhythm spring, from some point the film after the heroes circles the roads. Yes, and the music is much, especially the lyrical - the authors help us understand what exactly we should feel. Nevertheless, both the film is bright, and the director, developing a naobo from the highway of Russian cinema. And as Sinefil Kirill Sokolov loves, the film has a lot of “geeks”, quotes from his favorite paintings: from Tarantino and Ricci to Lynch. And a bright color palette, a game with fire, which will certainly save, will remind the “wild heart”.

Relatives

The debut of the theater director Viktor Ryzhakov “The Day of the Dead” about the shaking of the border guards between the living and the dead. Those who left but continue to be near. On parental Saturday, the mother (Agrippina Steklova) and the son (Alexander Pal) go on a trip to the old, barely living sedan. In this journey, they need to visit several cemeteries scattered in the region. Visit your own. Parents, husband, although he left. The deceased son, who turned out to be a victim of absurd family relations, where love was mixed with resentment. A victim of patriarchal values ​​that turn into a stray. The heroine of the film of those aunts who are better with the dead than with the living. Who will bitterly mourn the departed and spread rot the living. Cinema about the loneliness of loved ones. A thought -out soundtrack - a alloy of Russian music with Spanish. A multi -layer color scheme, shooting from drones, an endless road to the kingdom of the dead, as if the director tried to overcome the theatricality of the play, which formed the basis of the film, to demonstrate the possession of a cinema language.

At a press conference, Ryzhakov spoke of a subtle line between theater and cinema. The fact that the theater is becoming a media space, and now it is one world. It is difficult to agree with him, especially when you watch the film. What is possible on the stage, the screen sticks out as an acting overkill. This is especially true for the role of Agrippina of glass, an actress talented, but here clearly experiencing, theatrically funding by uncontrollable anger and irritation.

The modest tape "Nouchti" is an obvious representative of the Yakut wave. Aesthetically convincing, balanced. The end of the nineteenth century on the edge of the world in the Yakut taiga. They buried the second child. And then they are forced to take the Russian convict in the house, who takes power over them, becomes a complete master, deprives the last hope. About the monstrously destructive power of imperial consciousness. Human cinema, in which the prose of life is mixed with rituals, shamanic rites, prayers of water spirits. But the perfumes run to the side of the evil forces.

True, the uterus

The Russian series today is in demand almost on equal terms with foreign. Pitching of new projects was held on Kinotavra. About 700 (!) Applications were submitted. They seemed to be the best. But among them convincing stories of a unit. It seemed to me a curious "station" Victoria Zueva. Detective, science fiction with obvious allusions to Solaris. Atmospheric thriller with scientific assumptions. Here is the disappearance of the famous scientist, and the secret of the biofermation on the distant white sea, where people conduct dangerous experiments. It seems that the jury, consisting of representatives of the platforms, was also interested in the project. In any case, the producer of Kion Igor Mishin has already suggested Victoria to send a detailed application.

What topics are you interested in young authors? For example, awakening female power. "Truth-Matka" about a girl with the Stockholm victim syndrome. To be healed, she needs to hear the voice of her uterus, that is, nature. The jury was interested in how exactly the uterus would be realized on the screen with its wise tips. " Eclipse" is the history of the arrival of Black Ospa in Moscow in 1960. And her causative agent was a scarlet dress from Dior. The “Model in the Hijaba” is not too intelligible about a Muslim girl who chose the profession of a fashion model, for which she is threatened with a murder of honor. “667” is the name of the Demon, who was instructed in the earthly sucker of Vadim. In this story, on a thread of so many plots that it turns into a blanket sewn from fabric residues. The meaning is straightforward: evil is people, not gods. There was a hypothetical tragicomedy “ Lisa is stupid” - about a girl who herself does not know what she wants. Approximately the same can be said about some Pitching participants.

Public Talk

A conversation with representatives of the leading online platforms, where TV shows and films gradually flow. They talked about the future that has come today. Streams became the beneficiaries of the rental. The host of the discussion, Alexander Rodnyansky, spoke of the arrival of generations that watch TV shows on smartphones, got used to another type of stories, ambivalence of heroes. He asked: how are the series of different platforms differed from each other, from television products?

The general director of Yandexsstudia (+Kinopoisk) Olga Filipuk explained that their targeted is the entire Russian audience, so they willingly work with the first channel (Major) and with other platforms. Trying to catch the expectations of the audience.

START CEO Julia Minubaeva said that 80 percent of their show is their own production, original projects. Therefore, there is no such wide choice as in KinoPoisk, but they can afford an experiment.

Sofya Mitrofanova, CEO of Premier, admitted that their online platform is firmly associated, like TNT, with entertainment, fun. But gradually the content will change.

MTS Media CEO and producer Kion Igor Mishin believes that there will be fewer events. And it's not as series. On the contrary, there will be so many competing interesting projects that the audience will be distributed according to different platforms. And there is no need to wait for such multimillion -dollar views that the “house arrest” or “keepers” had.

Among the problems discussed at the discussion are a shortage of ideas and authors.

Will the leading platforms remain in such quantities? They are already excessive. Yes, and there are so many series that the platforms tear famous artists from each other. In addition, large sharks such as Netflix did not just come to our market with their projects, but begin to shoot series in Russian.

How much more platform will arise and disappear? Will online cinemas have freedom or will they be like a TV? Will there appear projects entering the nerve of society? The answers to these are by no means rhetorical questions will not have to wait long.

On September 27, in the summer cinema of the Museum of Contemporary Art “Garage”, a special show of the film closing the festival, the drama of Kira Kovalenko “Fite Fists”, one of the main Russian paintings of the year, will be held. After the show, the Q&A will take place with director Kira Kovalenko, producer Alexander Rodnyansky and screenwriter Anton Yarush.

On September 28 and 29, the first Moscow shows of the two films of the Film Film Film Full Contest will be held: Grigory Dobrygin’s tragicomedy “At close distance” and the new work of Natasha Merkulova and Alexei Chupov “Captain Volkonov,”. After the shows, discussions of films with their authors will be held.
