international contemporary film festival. oh yeah and in the walk of spotlight. on r.t. i'll bring our panel today my guest on the show is. a very hollywood movies are dominating big screen. some in terms of the budgets of self-interest but the lasting success of noncommercial movies at various trustable shows that people are hungry for alternative cinema so can this provide anti-dote to spectacular blockbuster but the one international contemporary film festival is ongoing in moscow and its program director. for the arts.

critics say cinema is going through his story. the so-called independent kind of these top box offices while hollywood blockbusters become we know profound amateurs take it on the whole critics complain cinema has become very predictable it's hard to find a really original work that's why the two in one passable was plaited it's organizers say they don't choose directors names or a critic's opinion there has to be only features that surprised and impressed. thank you very much for being with us thank you for inviting me welcome to the show well first of all to anyone first of all what is going on well actually it doesn't mean what you perhaps would have suggested it's not about having shoulders from the well this is definitely about. lowering the border it's about different

much different kinds of cinema about blurring the border between cinema and country . art. documentary and fiction and a tour to commercialize cinema so this adult making cinema a unified space world can explore women world can find something interesting where we can showcase the best lines in their areas of creative work in cinema well i don't know that you call your first of all a contemporary thought of us through our all food first rules showing contemporary movies this is this idea of a festival on well not necessarily minimal i mean there are wonderful film festivals that are pockets that are concentrated on the retrospective for example i don't know given some films actual case contemporary film street are sometimes various targets to retrospective partners are not berlin ali and some sebastian

film first of all. we are not the biggest film festival in the world so we we're trying to concentrate on what is important for an hour at least when actual casing we're not presenting retrospectives lots of them. we are sort of primed to focus our attention on the transplant and there won't be particularly interesting inventing a risk yes there is a rule you can claim for your it which i personally dislike of the so for i don't really understand what form it means i think i think a piece of work including movies can be good or bad but well this is it it can also be forty three or sixteen why knowing well the world this is only seventy four in many ways but still they see professions like yourselves very that that every first of all today has its own format is there a format for your festival and what films what movies fits into the tune one for

world personally we are together on this because i. i hate the word might as well i mean. this is not a bad form of political about the slapshot last election of course it has to be done according to some pretty rare but one main criteria and we've got the strictest selection i believe out of all the first film and also in the world because we like or dislike but i do works out of the dozen or so or we it's not a lot for march we can include it on blockbuster movie in the competition if it's really a work of art for a work of for personal expression but you know it's like vodka vodka can't be out of form and so the cold war or war many in. the world. makes you feel good if it's if you'll go out sometimes it doesn't

a found upon the altar of god create depends upon it at full speed or i don't want to. well not only quantity but hang in the selection selection of our late selection of companies there's a load. of this field for everything also drew movie yeah exactly so ok let's let's drop for a minute so do you the atmosphere of your festival there's that. supposed that you have to have some some some special sort of movies because you said it could be anything including a blockbuster well it can be and if you only thing but in terms of gas first of all i would like to say only five hundred guests who are really interested in what is coming up for example for well like an angel some names the two girls for sure as a present of the jury we've got for robert siegel a wonderful american filmmaker who was

a scriptwriter of wrestler with. main m.b.a. is to invite people who are really interested in what's going on we are not inviting people from money we're not inviting people to stroll on a red carpet this is completely irrelevant for us if we're inviting someone this is going to pieces mean words means that we are going to have press conferences master class of meeting with all the unsound we mean in the arts we hope not only the audience by people who are invited our guests will be satisfied nicholas experience because the first hole is a place for communication communication means communication between a glorious hundred movies it means the communication between where audience and the filmmaker is down between filmmakers themselves because this is the best place to make friends after all one of the papers quoted you as saying that there is your first of all your first of all the main feature is to surprise at least this year

doesn't mean that you would show a movie that's all for aesthetically but sharking surprising. well shocking doesn't necessarily about the half to see some shocking scenes of violence of a person being some old in front of the camera and no shocking on you mean start we need to change the culture of hopes for or movies because predictability i would say is the worst anime of art in contemporary film and not on the phone because everything is predictable you know what to expect out of when you must show out of maine you just have submission of them in the movie made by some well known filmmaker and what we really loud is a sense of surprise when you have something with the liberals when you have

something that really surprises you that can catch unaware places what we're searching for in the competition and not on accomplishment or you know i guess. i do think that prevents predictability is so bad i mean for example this is when characterizing a person when characterizing somebody what will people usually say is brutal i mean this is good it's very hard to do with unpredictable people unpredictable countries and predictable situations in life so why do we want life to be predictable and films to be unpredictable does that mean that things should be should be close to life. while if. you know you're saying well the subdued point actually i mean you know we really like a person like a person's life for. everything that surrounds us to be reliable i don't say predictable but reliable when we can rely on on

a certain kind of reaction. well we still need to explore something new because this is where we're here for her for running well this is. for me. this is our present their idea of life to explore the unpredictable areas of creative enough in life. art in everything because otherwise it would be something boring so you have a program this year. called while you would strikes back these are the indian remakes of the most successful hollywood blockbusters are you showing these films just to satisfy the moscow public or why. well. loring whereas i have the unpredictability and well certainly certainly all the films the schildt of satisfied were good martin must public

because moscow audience because they're a very particular very specific audience with very specific case but in terms of talking about this sort of program hollywood strikes back bollywood strides back i think it's very in creation and interest and idea because. when i first heard of for be a remake of my mantle is a cult movie by christopher i'm on a famous hollywood director who took on pacman franchise very innocent hollywood on all over the world and i've heard about a maybe a remake of the amount of bar which is a very harsh and tough. on an easier and it's kind of thriller with a very gripping one when i heard that they made it three hour long remake of

start with songs and found solace in bollywood i couldn't believe my own ears when i saw compelling miles. all this is a true path of underage. now i mean what is important for these bollywood product program is in terms of the imagination of their far beyond what the. program in the projects they're within the framework of your first rule is called generation campaigns who are the teachers and who are the students well the teachers are all well everyone who wants to come you know i mean well. i hope earth across not. actually robert said all the scriptwriter for a slow haul and i mentioned already he's going to be one of our lecturers and i'm sure that some people from new york film academy will show up and would you

introduce the. students all the students from some schools around europe and around the world who are willing to comment while willing to experience something you. have not only experience something new about to make a few. short more recently trying to prove to be present at the closing ceremony says alex executive program director of the twenty one in national contemporary film for spotlight pulled around sure agreed to we take a break so stay with us we'll be back with this interview and. i.

thank. god it's going to take.

welcome back to spotlight i'm al green arvin just a reminder that my guest on the show today is an extremely good program director of the two in one international contemporary film festival i would say we we started talking about different features of your film festival well let's talk about another one big festivals have to face as well also two and one make most of the festivals one is to promote non-conventional the castle's want to come out now conventional eye and noncommercial and on the other hand they advertise movies for

the wider public that they they sort of are show them to the to the press to the public what a role do you see as the principal role for your first. or the other two are you know what well what you are saying i think it's really relevant only for run from first in the world which is the council can go only on the council first of all because. really really launching launching a film are all of the built in film war and such competition and creepy accounts film first of all that conserve earth european a european distribution maybe even this earth very nice but for otherwise no i don't believe so i mean. first of all it's always like to. stress the for but firm but we're short and for example for the competition underwear

later distributed and the countries we have such successful examples for example we i got a film. my close friend total salon poll one of the cast tapped phone filmmakers omega. perry interest and contemporary version of paramount of brothers but not for your skit was picked up by the discussion russian distributors and he was released after we premiere a good i thought i saw about the toll from first fall but i wouldn't overestimate this role mainly with free phone first of all it's a noncommercial launch pad for for our phones that can gain some profit parked in a small for us but you know like like we're gonna need lots of freedom and spark with our photo mounts we can buy this hold this is one of the things the same thing

goes for our so-called noncommercial maurice. p.r.c. well actually the last ten years have seen things in russian cinema from the crisis spotlight you know the media reports on that issue. how were you measure the success of the film industry box office or international awards. there are some successful attempts in who would like for derby wonder chooks historical dramas. busters began bit of success or been paved his way to rude however he's nightwatch raised less money in europe then andries the return of the golden lion in venice the slow moving psychological drama managed to commercially lead advance narrative rude. multiple twists and turns while russian commercial movies are quite really released outside the country

then on commercial counterparts conquering the world the last few years have seen not acceptable gretzky's triumph for knowledge they spoke with three were shot at a real station in the arctic reap the harvest of international awards another russian film silent triumphant premier with a twenty minute long stand in the patient in brown is last year this year the council film festival awards again saves you lana and that success was followed by alexander said more of snatching a van this is a lie and with his false impressionistic he was so fickle works by contemporary russian filmmakers appear to have great appeal to viewers worldwide zero hole who produces enough blockbusters on its own so maybe the right thing for russian filmmakers is to stick to what same sharon tradition of raising serious issues and

focusing on the character's thoughts and feelings rather than their actions. well our reporter mentioned back when very small films there's been lots of talk about the only one they really they really became popular he became popular in hollywood but on the other hand do you think that it makes sense for russian filmmakers to try to imitate blockbusters though there will never be better than that how we would blow burst through because because the the whole history of russian cinema is like thought provoking and i play can very very meditative. films is not true. well i would say doesn't me. imitate anything in the specially hollywood style but if people are inclined to make kind of action movies like. like they make it in hollywood well the best

ways to or just to spend your last money for a ticket to california to i don't know to find a plan for a job was a waiter in mcdonald's sun right can right on through from just your scripts or projects or if you're an actor just go to. screen tassel whatever because hollywood is indeed the best place to do tool action films are well if you are inclined to do something out well i think russia is by far not the worst place in the world because we still have a certain african states award for debut film or a little or two or filmmakers. i would say you can. you can make into some movie here still for. i don't know half a million dollars which would be impossible in america for

a you were saying in one of the interviews a quote the problem with contemporary art. movies is that they are mostly about the personality of their authors but it's almost impossible to say if the film is good or not what are the criteria for judges of such films when you what when you're in the jury. well i used to be on the jury right now and i thought the program director so i thought the film very unlike and thought of my judgment of twelve movies in the confirmation of turing one for personal are certainly of the best. possible movies but. for the for the jury members i would say. the mask important thing is to understand to feel if it's real or fake because it's very easy to make

a fake art movie and not wanting is just makes little shorts. and all dialogue around political buildings around here you know like water dripping from it. on one floor in five minutes here and would probably create and. the. russians are not and it's really not. me must look for one type of war for confidence if there is the one thing out of nothing comes very well let's talk about about multiplying your own thoughts and feelings should you know it is today not only in movies and general express anything else except his own feelings is own personality well this is. we're coming back to your first question what does it actually

tween one mean you want alpha means like a person. underworld around here. because a crowd without figure will make ricin which is only a reflection of war on the wards and de beers but wouldn't be interesting because that sentiment you know itself is an art form but. to use them in some reality while expressing yourself but you cannot. you cannot make our eyes a part of his creation and you cannot only interests because you need something to express and you need something to talk about him from a trail of him because you have to use it if it's not well but i am planning to fail in the twentieth century the cinema was i mean the cinema life was characterized by the existence of a number of living classics. some of them made movies some of them quit making

movies but they were around and they certainly reference as they set an example for everybody else today twenty first century is the time of the authority and i mean i mean authorities are overthrown with every new generation even with half a generation they would throw their authority is is that we have the same situation in cinema well i would say still. because all there are all the authors all of whom really like on the war from the second part of the twentieth century and there aren't. younger you know like three we talk about woody allen or lost even lost from tree or or arche to resign or other famous european and american filmmakers there already for over fifteen and we don't have a new what we have

a new generation but it's not it's these names are not in all the brand names in more if you would just. great theater in your film by new filmmaker well nobody nobody would. go and watch it otherwise there was a special reason thank you thank you very much for being with us and just a reminder that my guest today was alexei made visit program director of the two and one international contemporary front. that's it for now from all of us here at spotlight will be back to you for many a party and take care. it's
