and a lot of things that are extremely interesting, just amazing, and we don't know in the general mass, for example, that in the 20s we almost had hollywood here, and this is not an exaggeration, and we will talk now about this book that i am giving you showed at the beginning of our broadcast, let's talk with the author, the book is called your book about cinema, the author is olga birzul, who is also a film curator, olya, hello. hello, hello, tell our viewers briefly what a film curator is? well , there, by the way, in the book, this, i better tell about it, ah, so that not only in your viewers, but also teenagers had an idea of ​​what it is, it is a very good and interesting profession that allows you to express your thoughts about certain phenomena, events, events, and thoughts through movies. in fact

, this profession is very close to art curators, it’s just that art curators use paintings, installations, sculptures, and film curators use cinema, you know, i want to tell you that when i was a teenager, i was interested in both music and cinema, but we had a very there are few sources of information, i remember when we had three channels there and something had to be done search, and i will say that if this book had come to me when i was 13-14 years old, i will say... for sure that it would have seriously influenced my formation, because you describe, well, first of all, in an interesting way, but there is so much of everything, terminology, the history of cinema, our history, how cinema is shot, how it is prepared, what is distribution, that, well, that is, it is just some incredible amount of information, first of all, thank you for this book, and secondly, tell us how you chose approaches in order to interest the audience, teenagers, then...

that is, how exactly this book was thought out, what hooks, perhaps, you set together with the publishers so that teenagers would read it and really get excited about the filmmaking process. thank you for having already read it, because it is quite fresh. thank you for the nice feedback. in fact, i didn’t, i didn’t develop anything with the publishers, because i already had this concept ready, i was lucky enough to invite my friends, katya slonova, an illustrator, artist, and lara yakovenko, who is also, i call her, to work on this book architect of our book, and since we all love movies, it was easier for us to compile all my knowledge and jokes and mine and katina's and larina's into a single publication, you can say that we directed it, and in principle in several in ukraine, there is no book about cinema for...

teenagers, to be honest, i do not know how to talk about cinema with children, because it is a completely different genre, i believe that cinema enters you productively, and somewhere in adolescence, because you start with to contact reality more, to argue with it, to look for one's flock, and here the cinema comes to the rescue, but it is some crazy injustice that at such an important age as adolescence, there is no book... which could accompany you in this process of learning. and i, of course, understanding that the history of ukrainian cinema does not have such a large heritage of teenage films, tried to find something in each period that could be interesting in the period of adulthood, this is the first principle, that is, all stages of the development of the history of world cinema and ukrainian cinema, they are based on examples from a... on examples of films about

teenagers, about growing up, about such and such turbulent age, this is the first, the second principle that i put as a basis is the principle of montage, because thanks to montage, the film language appeared, and therefore i divided the book into different parts, and named each part according to the main principle of montage, and when we we break it down by size, that is, there is a general plan, which is about the history of cinema... we look at the conditions in which the environment was formed by cinema, that is, how we look at the cinema, where the character lives, what he lives on, whether he breathes, then there is a medium plan, where we we are talking about the stages of film production, like a movie is being created, and the close-up is the profession of cinema, that is, we consider each profession separately, we have a section of details that is very important to me, which i moved to the end, i would be afraid to scare my audience with too complicated terms, we are already in the details there.. . let's remember all this terminology, important

and we do it from an ethical point of view, not only from an aesthetic point of view, it was very important for me to talk about the nature of cinema and the ethics of cinema, because in fact the basic... my goal is to teach teenagers to watch, not just watch movies, but to see a movie, that is, to be able to notice in a movie is not only entertainment, something interesting, bright, in fact, to see certain flaws of humanity, certain stereotypes, certain superstitions, and through cinema to become a more changeable, worthy, one might say more aware person, and there is also a section about cinema as propaganda, so you... you understand , you explain very well exactly how cinema was used for propaganda and how it can be used, yes, because it is an intersection of politics as well, and here and there are many different sections, to me, i want to give a special compliment to katya slonova, who made these illustrations,

incredible, very cool, i meet here, you interview in the last one, it seems to be a section, yes, if i'm not mistaken, there where all our acquaintances are, who is there a film critic, my colleague. darya badior, and we see there denis ivanov, the distributor, and anton baibakov, who is a composer, one of the most famous, i interviewed them, and they are their images, their drawings, you can immediately recognize who they are, they are very cool interpreted by the artist, i really liked it, and please tell me, i very carefully want to ask you about viktor, because the book is dedicated to him for our viewers, i will say that viktor anysko is one of the top editing directors. in ukraine, olin 's husband, unfortunately, he died, but this is an extraordinary, extraordinary tragedy not only for his relatives, but also for our industry, because viktor really, he was one of the best, and the cinema suffered a huge loss for us, i

remember him oh, olya, i want to ask you, what were the principles of his work in cinema, how did he treat cinema, and how did he treat ... editing, so that our viewers also understand all this magic, which is constantly being talked about , when we talk about film editing, how it can change cinema, and this is exactly what i want to ask you about, i must say that the book - in my age is dedicated not only to the fact that he is the director of editing, he is a person with whom i also grew up, we we were together for 17 years, we met at the age of 23, music, cinema, books... introduced us, fell in love, and somehow we boiled in this broth all our lives, and i must say that cinema was never an escape for us from reality, cinema taught us to exist in this reality and respect it, fit into it and fight for it, and vitsya came out

to the maidan in the 14th year for the two of us, because i gave birth to a daughter just then, i was this sofa. sotny, who, as a foreign journalist and documentarian, because i was already working for dokudeys at that time, tried to explain what was happening in an informative manner, and vitsya was on the maidan, and all this, i think, shaped his position very strongly, so it turned out that until we did not receive summonses during the anti-terrorist operation, but bitya was preparing, and when the full-scale war began, he already joined the army in mid-march. got into the 128th mountain assault unit brigade and we were destined to go through this war for nine months, on the eve of the new year there was a tragedy, at the same time, vitya managed to become a commander, at first without training, it should

be noted, he was a platoon commander, then a platoon commander, and when he was in the war, a conversation about this book ... in fact , it saved us a lot, because military, military realities are complicated, he was twice at ground zero, first he liberated kherson region, then he was a solider, and i consulted with him a lot, and it helped us a lot, somehow all these complicated, complicated period to experience, and vitya had an incredible sense of humor, i also tried to preserve it in the book, because with teenagers, you need to... be able to find the intonation that will keep attention, because cinema is actually an extremely difficult industry, it is not an art, as we like to think, it is an industry , which exists at the intersection of creativity, technology, politics and commerce, and all this must be explained in order to understand what cinema is and why at the cannes film festival

there are lyznytsya, sreebrynykov and other abominations, according to vitsina, the approach to cinema was very responsible, he at 15... this year he stopped working with ukrainian productions because they cooperated with the russians, and vitya, besides, i must say that when zakharia was born, i still... had the illusion that i needed to learn the russian language and look for a dialogue, i immediately switched in ukrainian, that's why our child, she is called a school-speaking policeman, because she requires knowledge of the ukrainian native language from other people, and ah, vitya actually still liked to edit clips, and he was also involved in do kudei, because together with katya ermine they made videos about programs, they always do were a little different, it was... in fact , there were some contrasting genres that we all loved very much, we were waiting for katya or vitsya to edit some kind of trailer about the program, and i

can’t say whether vitsya liked game or non-game movies more, because it is always a story about coexistence with the director, because the editing director gives the first word to the director, and then they look for a form, compose, because editing is such a certain syntax, yes, that helps in... shaping the director's vision , and i think that, in fact, vitya could do a lot more to have time, but unfortunately, i did not judge, nevertheless, the montage principle that i use in the book is also about the memory of him in a certain way, and in general, for me , this book is about memory, because now i i see what's happening with... the cemetery, we see how difficult it is for us to implement collaborative practices during

a full-scale invasion, and i would like this book to help my daughter find friends, other teenagers who also lose loved ones , see what we, what our generation is trying to do everything is possible for this war to stop, and for the racists to be punished, for them to remember us as we were, we... were filmmakers, musicians, engineers, and architects, economists, and i would like to try more in this book and so remember the feat of the age of other defenders who are now fighting for our country. olya, thank you, i will say that victor himself recommends watching the movies in this book, i, the eagle, that dying girl, the kingdom of the full moon and cartoons with thoughts inside out. from pixar, absolutely i support this, and there are very, very many tips in the book, i really liked it, that you

first describe the cinema, and these old hollywood films, and our films, black and white, which are not always accessible to understand, yes, at such a distance, after your description makes me want to watch them, because you already understand how they should be watched. thank you, olya, once again, let me remind you, olya birzul was on our air, a film curator and the author of a book, here... i will show her again, she is so yellow, visually very attractive, you will immediately find her in bookstores, your book about cinema, she is called with illustrations by katya slonova, wonderful, so if you want to interest your children, teenagers from 14 years old, as marked here, in cinema, and you yourself want to improve your knowledge, understand how to watch a movie correctly, in order to understand it, why does cinema have such colossal influence, this book... just for you, well, that's all for me, friends, and i wish you a nice and peaceful

how we built our houses, when you stand under the heavens of the earth, and the heavens turn and float away, you understand that you need to live where death does not scare you, build walls from seaweed grass, dig wolf holes and ditches, get used to living together with everyone day by day homeland is where you are understood when you...

this time we will travel to the east of ukraine, to places that preserve the memory of life in ukrainian slobodas. today , houses are painted with a unique and incomparable petryki painting. the ukrainian east is where they are proud of their old wooden school that survived the second world war and will definitely survive this one. and where the local residents restored the cossack tower at their own expense, because they are proud of their past, and although some of these places are currently under occupation and suffer from shelling, there is something that cannot be destroyed by bullets and shells, it is... our memories with you. our common memory. slobodkas, that

is, settlements, began to form in the place of a wild field. they were ukrainians who moved from right-bank ukraine to left-bank ukraine. and piserivka itself is a cossack settlement, and they came for the dnipro from the body. the history of slabic ukraine, or as we used to say. slobozhanshchyna is inextricably linked with the most common settlements, slobody, where mostly cossacks and free peasants lived. always the center of ukrainian freedom there was a church around which cossack roots stood, i.e. light, often temporary buildings where cossacks spent the night and wintered. pisarivka is no exception, because here was not only a church, but also a monastery. a relative of grigory sa' served as hegumen in the monastery. skovoroda hryhoriy savech skovoroda visited this monastery very often, came here and wrote several of his poems here in this monastery. unfortunately, neither

the wooden monastery nor the church survived, although the latter stood until the mid- 90s. our church was st. patron saint the church is wooden, as in ukraine there were three in total, and precisely of such architecture, such a wooden one, without... not a single nail, without anything, that's all, in 1995, due to inattention, the father abandoned the electric stove and left there for a call , and the church burned down. the church was rebuilt in the same place, but not made of wood, and they decided to establish the ethnographic museum ukrainian slobitka nearby. a mill was brought from a nearby village, in good condition, there were almost no old houses left, but enthusiasts took parts of three dilapidated houses and made one, here... they brought it all and assembled it and they made one house out of two houses, oh, honey, it’s cool here, now it’s going to be, come on, there are two

rooms in this house, in one bedroom there is a bed that is more than 100 years old, embroidery by local craftsmen, household items, but the most interesting thing here is the living room , the main room of the house, which is called the svelitsya, this is the svelitsya, so... come to us, the sun rises in the house, it is visible, it is visible, it is visible, it is visible, it is visible, and the sunset is setting in the house, what, light, that is why this house it was called a svelitsia, now you will know, yes, this wall faces north, it is cold the wall, it exits to the north, you don’t need to be away from the target, nothing is blowing anywhere, here people... here guests cooked, here children slept, old people, the chechka was drowning, it heated up and it was always warm, often folk architecture, which at

first glance cannot surpass the work of architects, in fact it can be more comfortable for life, because when building a house for yourself from scratch, a person is primarily interested in where the sun rises and sets, where it blows in the winter, where it floods when it rains, good architecture. this is not necessary necessarily made with the participation of an architect, and very often there are cities, which arose with incredible skill, which are still such tourist centers, attractions and are listed in unesco, well, these cities are in yemen, the maghreb or there. spanish old cities are very much like córdaba, well, for example, or amsterdam, but just amsterdam, more than

what we see. why on all these postcards, it was done without architects, there are exceptions, there are certain state institutions, in most cases it was simply an understanding of certain principles that were passed from hand to hand for generations, and it was such a good enough engineering, technical . solutions that were based on those resource opportunities that were nearby and some such certain social structures, well, that's why ukrainian vernacular architecture is also with borscht, and he, he has hundreds of recipes, and they also depend very much on these recipes, and what grows in the garden, in this area,

it is interesting how in the past people... created a comfortable dwelling, having almost nothing but the knowledge that was passed down through the generations and the materials that were at hand. here in the house there was a large collection of gas lamps, since there was no electricity at that time, candles were expensive. today, due to a power outage, the museum's exhibits unexpectedly became useful to the residents of pysarivka. they come to me, they say: "you will borrow for a while, while it is still light, if there is no, i say, i will borrow, pay the bill." i borrowed three against a receipt, and they buy gas, and the lamp works normally. it is interesting how open-air museums preserve time and how sometimes it is strange to immerse yourself in history and draw parallels with today. if cossacks once lived in piserivka and had to protect the russian empire from the tatars, then now it defends itself from russia, because the border is just 15 km away.

during the recording of this interview, we repeatedly heard the work of artillery: buga, you understand, it's not yet a buga, it's not yet a buga, the buga once started to tremble, then bang, then it's scary, honestly, it becomes scary, but people survived when over head flies, i myself saw how a rocket flies, then in air defense, the explosion goes flying, pieces fly in the field, fighter jets fly low, it 's so scary, it bends to the ground, but still us. i imagine that there are people there in the basements, but there, my god, it’s terrible, 20 km from piserivka is the museum of grigory skovoroda, which was targeted by russian troops at the beginning of spring 2022. photos of the destroyed museum were circulated by all ukrainian and western media. you just have to get to the museum in the middle of nowhere. it was specially made, you see, specially made,

someone led. it's not a war, it's a frenzy, the real one, you understand, well, yes, you can't wage war like that, it's just not possible, i don't know, there are no words, i don't want to, how it is every day, you you understand, you come home, one thing, you go somewhere, two, somewhere, you try to distract yourself, i say, come here, look, and thank god everything is fine, everything is fine so far, everyone in piserivka perfectly understands who is firing in ukrainian... and and why, in the nearby historical museum, which is also taken care of by leonid, portraits of lenin still stand next to the stand about the terrible holodomor. we saw the same picture for a second in the ethnographic museum of the village of artyukhivka. well, this is the ethnographic museum, where there are a lot of references to lenin, lenin, and brezhnei.

although we came to artyukhivka to find old shacks under the roof, in which people still live, we saw a completely different picture, namely expensive villas with swimming pools and expensive cars parked nearby. location to kharkiv itself, that is, if you have a car, then it is 40 minutes and you are already in kharkiv, a pioneer, if it was the former governor of kharkiv region, this is dobkin, if the idea went that this is what kharkiv is like.
