[000:00:00;00] and studios, the events of the day in two hours, vasyl's big broadcast in winter, a project for intelligent and caring people in the evening, nayspresso, friends . greetings. in our broadcasts, we constantly talk about the influence of russia on various cultural international platforms and we talk about various film festivals, and unfortunately we have to state that the game of dispute with this the influence is increasing because the organizers of film festivals and we will talk about them today specifically. well , they are too loyal to the russians, and we are talking not only about those whom we call good russians and in quotation marks, but also about not very good russians and here is another example: the venice film festival will start at the end of summer and there will be ukrainian films. now i will tell

you what is very good, but also very bad . no, not russian films, but films from two well-known world directors who are somehow connected with russia. this is new. roman polyansky's tape and woody allen's new tape, the directors of these two are quite scandalous , you know that they are accused in particular of being sexual thieves, for example, but everything is okay with them at the venice film festival the main thing is that if we talk about woody allen's film, we can say that it has already been sold to the russian market, despite the talk about the sanctions that seem to have been imposed on it. well, if we talk about roman polyansky, then his new film palace starred a whole cohort of different russian actors, something tells me that they

will play a secondary role, but it's not for sure, they're just not in the trailer now , and now we'll consider what kind of actors they are, i'll say that the most disgusting of them is viktor dobronravov. i think you're already familiar with this name, because we all know such a fedor dobronra, who played ivan bunka in swat and his political statements are also well known to us, his son is not far behind in principle, let's talk about it but first i will tell you about something good, incredibly good , because the tapes will be shown in ukrainian at the novytsia film festival, for example , one of the programs will include anna's tape boryachkova, whose name is not always forever, let me remind you for a second who boryachkova is. well, first of all, she is a good director in principle . and secondly, you might know her from the very

recent music video of the singer stasik. which is called heroes die, you don't have to say they don't die, because it's an ugly lie, a lie, hypocritical in its face, so this is her feature film debut , which is called not always forever, it tells about teenagers, teenagers who, of course, have all their problems, a difficult age, but the specifics of this story, however, teenagers these live in the 90s in ukraine after the collapse of the soviet union in extremely difficult conditions and they, well , as far as i can understand with the description of the synopsis, will be superimposed on these standard teenage problems. it seems to me that this is a very good strategy. i don't know whether the author had it, but it's usually such works

when there is a large part of it. it 's understandable. it's generally understandable. yes, and when some specifics of each country are shown there, it's much more perceived that way, that is, through this filter. things are something new and mysterious. i don't know why . it's much better. i already want to see this movie, unfortunately , i can't say anything more about it because there isn't even a trailer yet, only posters. well , the second is the movie that is being shown at the venetian the film festival is called shadows of forgotten ancestors by sergei parajanov, and it will be in the program brought by classics, of course, i am the kind of program that shows old movies , classics

, of course. you have forgotten about her, there is a film shadows of forgotten ancestors by lubomir levytskyi i don't know watch it if you find it somewhere accessible, but it is shadows of forgotten ancestors by parajanova of course it is one of the most outstanding ukrainian films and two years ago or even three years ago, and the dovzhenko center conducted a survey among film journalists and film critics, you all identified the hundred best ukrainian films in history, and the film by serhii paradzhanov is the first on this list, and the initiator of this screening was andrii alferov, film critic, and he generally reminded in his post on facebook that precisely because the film was released in the soviet union , it could not receive proper attention and proper awards at international film festivals in particular

and therefore now it will be peculiar in particular and e by an act of justice, a historical error was finally corrected at the jubilee venice festival, the world's oldest film forum , from which the film festival culture has generally departed, the premiere of the restored version of shadows of forgotten ancestors will take place serhiy paradzhanov will represent the interests of ukraine and the world in the beniz classic program andriy alfyorov, film critic and now let's move on to these russians, er, roman polyanskyi is not exactly russians. yes, but he involved russians in his work, and he is a palace, his new film tells about such a large palace hotel switzerland and there are preparations for the new year and as it is noted in the description that there should be some vicissitudes , some relationships, what relationships between

the staff and the guests well, for now we are less interested in this because there is only one small trailer that does not show much of the plot but there will be mickey rourke there will be fondiardan and here are the russians, for example viktor dobronravov, as i already said, he is the son of fyodor dobronravov, and about fyodor dobronravov, i will remind you that after the occupation of crimea, he supported its soviet, he said in an interview that crimea returned to his homeland haval i love the country, and on the contrary, i believe that krym should return as he returned to lon on his own and to russia, eh, so i wanted to be, i think that an artist will not be a daughter in politics

. in which he played to stop cooperation with him, it was then shown on our tv screens, in particular, on the 1+1 channel, which was then managed by oleksandr tkachenko, i don’t know the former, i hope the final decision has already been made by the former minister of culture and information policy, and new seasons were filmed i will say that this is the last season of matchmakers. i also hope that this will be the final season of matchmakers. it was shown just two months before the full-scale invasion on the 1+1 tv channel again, and only after the full-scale invasion did it reach many people that it was probably not very okay. it was worth looking at this hero. especially since his on-screen wife , whose name was valyukha, she also, surprise, surprise , turned out to be a little pro-russian . they supported the war, and fedir pravov, after the start of a full-scale invasion

, openly supported the war, and even we saw when he visited one of the russian hospitals of the russian military and told them in particular about the matchmakers and there he said that hm, the characters of the matchmakers could live anywhere in the post-soviet space. how did he say there, not about the old post-soviet space, what is the difference, what is kyiv, what is the same people live everywhere in the tagan movement. in relation to his son viktor , i did not find that he spoke out directly in favor of er aggression, but he gave many interviews in which he claimed that he observes unfair treatment of russians. he believes that it is an absolutely agreed position of people all over the world to treat citizens of the russian federation with prejudice, he also calls himself an apolitical person and talks about the fact that

he is an actor. well, we know all these things , he is an actor. there is nothing to get involved in, and he said such a funny phrase, when the next sanctions against russia were announced, he said that the russians have nothing to worry about, because 30% of russians live with a toilet on the street, what kind of sanctions can these to scare people well, in principle, there may be some truth in this and there is, let's listen to what he says in more detail, here is one of the interviews. it seems to me that it is very similar to such a stand-up comedy, there are many funny things, and i mean, in my opinion , i don't know anything, what i'm going to say, you know i against or vice versa i'm for and people will think, but this is it, i love creativity and he's for or he's against, and

who am i ? i 'll be the same. how do you understand it? look eh i won't be silent good tell me what you will say, what you will do, from my point of view, she is certainly a very good actress, but she left russia . surely she can be called such a good russian, who is now actively arranging her life abroad, and such a notable fact is that she at one time, it seems, in 2006, she played in the film stranger by the famous italian director giuseppe torna, she played a ukrainian former sex worker who comes to italy to get a job

as a nanny. the situation has probably already turned into a normal one, because we see a fairly gentle attitude towards russians at various cultural platforms, not at all because people who deal with the culture and cultural diplomacy of ukrainians, for example , tell me more than once that there are platforms where russians are not allowed by citizenship, people are not allowed there , they are not invited, and by the way, it is not only countries that are friendly to us and understand us perfectly, such as poland or the baltic countries or finland. after all, the general situation is the same, for example, the russians very often say that they see a sufficiently bright perspective in their activities, and in particular, the producers. more than one russian producer says that they are

already determined to cooperate with the french , first of all, because the french from my point of view, especially cultured people still have a great sentiment for russian culture , they absolutely deny it, they don’t even want to hear about any suspension of even russian culture or temporary stopping cooperation with russian cultural keys not to mention some kens, but he is min in russian culture . that’s it. they’ll just stop listening to you right away. when you start talking like that. and that’s why they are happy to enter into various relationships with russian producers, even those who now live in russia for and they didn’t leave anywhere to live there , in principle, they are friendly enough, they also cooperate with state bodies, so of course we need some kind of state policy, all we can do is somehow oppose ourselves to this all this is state policy, which currently does not exist in the field of cinema and it will not exist, because state cinema

, as they say very often , has turned into a well-worn phrase, state cinema in our country is the most busy with showdowns with the dovzhenko center, everything else, there is not much time. it is very good that at the venetian film festivals will be ukrainian films but first of all, there are not so many of these films left , literally on the fingers of one hand you can count what ukrainian directors and women directors will be able to go abroad with to various festivals. maybe we will reach you the next cannes, and so on, all the films are no longer being filmed. and i mean, first of all , game ones. well, secondly, we faced this problem again, this dilemma of our participation and our presence together with the russians at various venues because, as you can see, we are still quite inconsistent in all this because some artists do not give up and refuse to participate with the russians, in principle, at one

event, i am not saying that on the same stage, at one event, or in principle at one festival, and because of this , various scandals often break out. others we already participate in events together with the russians, it was like that at eurovision, there was a russian woman in the czech band, there are russians at almost every film festival, but we are also present there, ah, we also definitely need some kind of state policy, for sure some kind of cooperation with the ministry of foreign affairs, maybe some instructions, maybe there is a way out of all this, because we have to admit that you are still a certain consistency. and this is a chance , since you are already russian, to find fault with our decisions like this. well, we will continue with the fact that russian propaganda is not only in

auteur films exist not only at various film festivals, but in certain screenings, at least there is such a risk , and on august 17, the film witness will be released in russia, and this is a kind of russian response to bucha and the event in bucha. i think you have already heard about this film and they had time to discuss it, it was filmed quickly enough, financed by the ministry of culture, then the ministry of defense joined the central partnership company, which also cooperates quite actively with state bodies engaged in film production in russia, etc. the plot there is the next conductor from belgium, whose name is daniel cohen, he comes to ukraine on the eve of a full-scale invasion and , uh, a full-scale invasion , he was caught by what way he gets into a small town, according to the descriptions, it is very similar to bucha. well, the authors themselves say that this is bucha practically

he sees the various atrocities of the ukrainian nazis like this and somehow he manages to escape from here. and he comes back. i understand that to belgium and he is shown to us by big studios where he talks with such a bear i understand some very poignant story about how, what cruelty happened, as in the trailer they say that he tells the whole truth , judging by how many english-language lines are in this tape. probably, the russians are counting on some screenings abroad , although we know that uh- after all, international film festivals do not reach any venues to show films financed by the russian state, after all, they somehow do not always declare it. they also

adhere to this, russians also find different ways not to show that this is state funding. let's say it's a film, but if you watch the trailer, you can feel it on the one hand. of course, it's quite propagandistic, and that's why it's aimed at a foreign audience , not a russian audience, because we have a russian audience. absolutely, it could be, i don't know, some serbs , some maybe a part of the people living in germany, maybe the same russians living abroad. to be honest, we will have to watch what happens if will there be a rental or screening of this particular film witness abroad but at the same time, along with the fact that this film is clearly propagandistic, even in appearance, i want to say that it is still made of quite high quality, it must be admitted, let's look

at a large excerpt, you are so lucky you are fighting yes, i'm the whole department, i'll tell you how it was in reality, well, of course , and watching what can we compare it to, because we remember a lot of tapes the russians released very quickly from 2014, which were just, as they say, screenshots it was all very it's bad that the russians themselves didn't watch these tapes. i mean some forces of the tsypok, some militia or the crimean bridge , which was made by the semenyan couple, and if you believe the investigation of oleksii navalny , they spent a lot of money there, let's watch excerpts from these films for a simple comparison dear, this is my birthday, i created it because i'm the best, there are two american

girls who i'll see in the group right away, i'll marry her , i'll marry there sary by the way, the director of this witness he is still enough for such a beginner director, you can say david his name is dadunashvili. he was a director for quite a long time, a production designer, then he shot literally several tv series . i watched them a little because i can say that they are not of the worst quality, and now he has shot this witness, and in our cinema, the trailer of this film and there is a lot of talk about the fact that, on the one hand, we have nothing to oppose to quality, on the other hand, for example, the authors of the movie butch, do you remember it seems like 10 months ago, the trailer did not make much noise for a long time , someone agreed that this movie is needed, someone was categorically not in agreement, but there were questions about the quality that was in the trailer, maybe the film itself will be of much higher quality than this and

the trailer, but let's remind ourselves that in the city there is a curfew , you can go out only from 10 to 12 and only on the street on his hands he always wears white bandages on every house it must be written in russian how many people are there also , we are shooting another film about buch called he seems to be a daughter but i still have, we know much less about him, the authors of this buchi say that they count primarily on a foreign audience, their funding is also non-state foreign and uh, they are proud of it . by the way, they do not say specifically whose money is it , they say that it is just people who wanted to contribute to such a movie, they made it well, until we see this film, at least i won't see it. of course, i can't form an impression of it, although i have premonitions that it is unlikely that it will still be called according to the idea

of ​​a foreign audience and will become as popular as the authors wrote. but i will repeat it again, we will see because now we we rely only on the trailers and on the previous works of these authors, they were mostly engaged in television comedies . well, once again, i want to emphasize and remind you that practice shows that the best way to shoot in a movie now and somehow use it to reach a foreign audience is still documentary is not only the conversations of cinematographers, this practice is because we see during this entire period of full-scale invasion that it is documentary cinema from ukraine, it is, hmm, it makes sense and is successful, it is also 20 days in mariupol, mstislava chornova, who received awards and everything in sundance and is now at the sundance festival and is now included in the company in american distribution in the united states and many very positive reviews

also the film iron butterflies by the way let's watch an excerpt from 20 days from 20 days in mariupol because this is an example of a film and an example of the fact that propaganda should not be fought counter-propaganda and the truth is really effective because mstislav chernov at absolutely many moments dispels the birth of russian propaganda, in particular, what is in the maternity hospital which was bombed by the russians in mariupol, they say there were actors and actresses there, yes, yes, i don’t know that among our films that were successful, i can name iron butterflies about the emh17 disaster, there are also many points about the debunking of what was said on

russian television. well, i also want to remember the film i didn't want to make a film about nadiya's war, parfan, this tape tells a very, very personal story of nadiya and her husband, how they went abroad before the full-scale invasion, where they were caught by a great war, and how nadiya returned first then ilya and how did they generally perceive the reality that they found this film, for example , the new yorker wrote about this film, one of the largest and most popular publications in the world, and i personally highly recommend you to watch this film absolutely is available for free on the resource, as always, you can also watch some different ukrainian tapes, er, i also want to touch on this issue that caused a stir in social networks this week, it was related to lesya gassik-jak, the acting director of the holodomor museum, because it

the issue was discussed, it was discussed, it started with funding, everything ended with absolute bullying and, er, comments directed at mrs. lesi, they say that she does not have the kind of figure to lead this museum , there were enough such comments, but thank god that there were much more comments in support of mrs. lesi herself she commented who treats this rather ironically, but emphasized that it is absolutely unacceptable to judge a person's professionalism by his appearance by his clothes, and because the arguments i encountered were absolutely ridiculous, i say i don't know, the museum of the holodomor should be headed by a person who is almost anorexic, because it is said to be more conceptual, meaning what the authors wanted to say, hmm, and there are also many opinions that they say this was a manifestation of sexism, in particular because towards men

they don't dig much about appearance, but i want to say that hmm, in fact, i have come across many cases of unacceptable things, such as weight, for example, the same guy, no matter how unpleasant he may seem to some, but still, he has much more, you know, other moments that can be to criticize, not its weight, the same thing, for example, the participants of the 95th quarter, the presenters of the news, this is the program on the telethon yevhen koshovy oleksi- oleksandr pikalo very often came across comments about how, they say , they ate a lot of themselves during the period of full-scale repetition on in the first month, it seems that it has some significance, so it seems that not when people have recovered, it is a manifestation of their indifference to the war, as if they can eat . i don’t know how. and the logic is already in these statements , but any comments, of course, about appearance, about clothes, about make-up, etc. they are

inappropriate person, if we are talking about professionals, you need to be evaluated as a professional by her or his actions, well, i will also say that the court removed all charges from kevin spacey and now they say that doby is free, it happened on his birthday and now he will resume his career, let me remind you that a few years ago there was a huge scandal in the context of this company of mine where women began to accuse various men of sexual harassment and indeed many accusations found their basis and there, for example, the same harvey weinstein received a huge term but if we talk about kevin spacey in particular, then he was accused of sexual violence by men, there were nine different counts, and now he was acquitted on all the counts that ours shed tears ah well, i will say that it will be difficult for him to resume his career, although many people love him as an actor and love his films, he is truly one of the most outstanding

american actors, but if you remember what happened to the film in which he played the main role, or rather the series called house of cards from netflix, his simply they closed, uh, one season was released without him, then they realized that without kevin spacey it’s not the same and they just closed it, and the actor also had to compensate netflix for a huge amount for saying that he was to blame for this and by now you are probably sure that kevin spacey himself compensate for all his sufferings, but you know, there is such a conspiracy theory that they say that since this series was political, it told about a congressman who became president, and there they showed various very, very dirty things that happen in the white house in the congress, be in principle in american politics, and once again, such a conspiracy theory emphasizes that the authors of the series have gone too far. they have already gone too far. hmmm, they started showing

the truth a lot, and that's why special people decided to donate him to us, spacey , for this series they closed it, well, in general, anyone who likes conspiracy theories will probably like this theory, but they really closed house of cards, despite the fact that it was at the peak of its popularity. theirs, in which jerry turner will participate, he is 71 years old, he is a restaurateur, a dresser, and all of his eh well, let's say that the applicants for his heart will be 60 + they will all meet not with their parents, as in the standard bachelor with children and grandchildren it would be very cool if such a show were launched in ukraine with such and such participants and participants. i think it should be a success. well, while we are waiting for

such a format, i wish you all a good and most importantly a peaceful evening. have a good night. everything is fine with espresso in ukraine at 5:00 p.m. a news release on the espresso tv channel in the studio of iryna koval i congratulate all the viewers very powerful and very productive volodymyr zelenskyy congratulated the special operations forces on their professional holiday the president visited the advanced positions in the bakhmut direction the head of state handed out awards listened to the commander's report and talked with the details of the operations of this type of troops will be told over time, but the execution of tasks by them is truly heroic, zelenskyi noted
