Personnel are deprived
The captain Volkogonov who received rental certificates of the painting and “for us with you” was removed from the show after denunciations. And nothing threatens the pirate Barbie
Frame from the film "For us with you"
Example one. It is possible, but impossible
It all started great. Even too much. The Gulag Museum of History, located in Moscow, announced the show of two bright paintings about Stalinist repressions. I note, not journalistic, namely what works of art. “Captain Volkogonov fled” by Natalia Merkulova and Alexei Chupov and “For you and you” Andrei Smirnov. The films were supposed to show as part of the “Cinema Night” campaign.
Both paintings did not go out in wide rental in Russia, although they are not officially prohibited. Moreover, both tapes have a rolling certificate issued by the Ministry of Culture.
The premiere of "Captain Volkonovov" took place in the fall of 2021 at the Venice Film Festival. This is the story of the repentant captain of the NKVD, which was brilliantly played by Yura Borisov. He wants to find and receive forgiveness of relatives of innocently killed. Here is such a "sedition."
The movieuroman "for us with you" - about how one family, one communal apartment is experiencing a series of terrible events against the backdrop of terror. His sunset days. The premiere of the film took place in the "feature", with full houses there were separate shows in Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Rybinsk.
So, unlike the servile patriotic “witness”, who had changed the “pianist” of Polansky, who had failed at the box office, are these paintings in demand?
But cinemas are afraid to take films about the bad Stalin and his victims in wide rental.
But here is an exception. Fit show on the day of the cinema, in a small hall. Tickets are instantly sold.
At this very moment, anonymous Telegram channels responsible for the “culture”, as the command “FAS!” Below on the command. Simply put, denunciations are written in chorus. Moreover, in a courteous manner. Like, to whom did it occur to choose these films for a public display? And then the “telegram” to higher authorities calling for vigilance, as well as the punishment of “guilty”:
“Apparently, Roman Romanov, the director of this institution, subordinate to the Moscow Department of Culture, decided to loudly slap the door and go to the sunset, somewhere behind the Sakharov Center* and the international“ memorial ”*, his old friends and partners, whose activities are now prohibited.
But, unlike them, the Gulag museum does not report to private sponsors. Such programs are agreed with the authorities, approved "upstairs." And what? It turns out there, upstairs, they agree with all this? After all the scandals and a showdown with these films?
Or the "bosses" simply does not know, does not in the subject and does not control the situation? "
What are “scandals and showdowns”? Various opinions? Or any negative opinion today is a black mark? Who puts it?
Or maybe there is a secret directive document that prohibits the topic of the Gulag and repression at the state level? After all, some deputies have long demanded to exclude the “Gulag Archipelago” from textbooks.
But who cares about real circumstances, specific films and their authors.
There was a signal! The authorities were immediately mortally frightened, the show was banned. No explanation of the reasons. Smirnov’s film, the one who lies freely on three platforms, became the victim of the denunciation of Chupov and Merkulova. And the picture “For us”, according to unofficial information, has already watched more than a million people. But you can’t.
Because it's scary.
Because in the next post of telegrams can be your last name. Because anonyms and denunciations officially recognized and supported by power are stronger than any “permits”.
An example of the second. You can’t, but you can
Formally, we, of course, fight with piracy. And the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation was not canceled, including article 146 “Violation of copyright and related rights” with a punishment of up to six years. But it is clear that in today's situation of divorce from Western countries to violators of the law, law enforcement officers will most likely look through the fingers. Or almost through the fingers, randomly choosing, in accordance with historical experience, victims.
Of course, pirate shows did not begin today, but almost immediately after the leaving the meaders.
“Batman”, “Fast and Furious 10”, “Avatar 2”, “Spider-Man” showed “from under the floor”. A web of universes ”,“ Do not look up ”, the cartoon“ I am blushing ”. Arbitration courts refuse to defend to copyright holders from countries who have adopted sanctions against Russia, referring to the abuse of the right and a decree of the President of the Russian Federation of February 28, 2022 "On the application of special economic measures in connection with the unfriendly actions of the United States and the foreign states and international organizations that joined them."
In addition, autumn begins and cinemas need to show something except the “witness” and “For Palych!” With the final departure of the hero to the foggy Dali on Bather.
And then there are two world triumphal hits “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” ... and past the nose?
The Ministry of Culture reasonably responds to reporters that “... did not receive applications for rental certificates for the films“ Barbie ”and“ Oppenheimer ”.
That is, in contrast to Volkonogov and “for us with you,” films about the doll and about the bomb of the rental certificate and will not be ...
What in our behind the zipalle means: they will be shown in cinemas.
In several Russian cinemas, the Barbie and Oppenheimer posters have already appeared. The shows will begin after September 9, when the digital releases of the films appear.
How? Within the framework of the so -called pre -Union service. Spectators buy a ticket for a domestic short film, a documentary or animated film, and the historical blockbuster of Nolan or the pink fantasy of Greta Gerwig is glued to them in the load.
Formally, a mosquito will not flow. The session is displayed in EAIS, tickets are calculated. Hollywood with a nose.
However, there are many options. The cinema rents cinema halls to a third -party organization, and it sells tickets, while the report is not transferred to the EAIS, all the revenue is at the cinema. Creative evenings or lectures are arranged with the show of "Fragments of the film." A fragment can be considered a film without final credits.
High -quality Russian dubbing has already been made. What RIA stated: “A professional translation studio, voice acting and dubbing of TV shows and films Red Head Sound completed work on the dubbing of the film“ Barbie ”with the participation of Russian“ Official Voices ”by Margot Robbi and Ryan Gosling - Tatyana Shitova and Andrei Barkhudarov ... and further on the text:“ It will not be a screen, but a digital copy of the highest quality, ” Added in the studio. "
The Red Head Sound studio offers interested persons to contact the film to be brought to you.
If you go to the website of the Mirage movie network, then you will be met by the smiling face of Margot Robbie - Barbie and the release date of the film - September 16.
The shadow rental is developing a powerful pace, they say that DCP copies are sold in closed Telegram chats.
Who can interfere with the underground and hits of Hollywood hits to the audience?
You won’t believe it, but again a proven scream “from the places”: deputies, telegrams. As soon as the Hollywood hits begin to replace Russian, gently to say, of different virtues of the tape ... A new scandal will flare up. There will be new prohibitions and punishments.
So the mirror system works, in which everything is possible and nothing is allowed.
