although screenings of films from the international main competition of the imff continue in moscow, what the audience and jury members saw the day before will be told by our story. the eye crying in the desert by the romanian director chabrean mega is the true story of an orthodox preacher, george calciu, who was imprisoned as a political prisoner after the second world war. he promised himself to become a priest if he managed to get out alive, having fulfilled his promise. george started a crusade against the atheistic regime theme just amazing and learn. what, and it is disclosed with a minimum budget? as u told us, the director is so believable. uh, without fiction without any embellishments, uh and reflecting the full political picture of that period, a wonderful film and great with games. and, of course, the past. in general, which should not be forgotten. there

are important words there, probably, for everyone this is always relevant, that is, one should never forget that the heart of the soul is free in itself. the director of the voice crying in the desert was the acting priest chaprian-mega, who wanted for the romanian righteous to know that as many people as possible, the result was a serious and thoughtful drama about a man who was not afraid to talk about faith, even when other priests preferred to keep quiet. and why was it so important for you to show the film in moscow. i don't think that today people can be limited by an iron rein. if they told me, you have no right to come here, but because there are people with dog heads. and then i would say, in order to hug them in the film, i will return to my country

say what are how wonderful these people met here to see the director's priest are quite unusual. although we know such examples, and what other professions? uh, modern or in the profession of the future. uh, it will be seen in the church, among your uh, brothers in christ, i welcome the rule that i do only what i feel, and i serve the church the cause of the priests is no longer the church. this is my life. cinema. this is just my passion. i'm so naive that i think cinema can change the world. and what did your hero do, uh, besides the fact that e broke the silence in society. uh, where the paths to dialogue and discussion were cut off, this

silence was very guilty. it was silence was a compromise to tell the truth. this is meryl 's life. this is already a huge achievement. another picture is a participant in the international competition, which premiered on sunday at the iff vitaly suslin's camel arch, its main character is an ordinary shoemaker who lives his small and cozy life somewhere in the provincial wilderness. everything changes when he has a dream to ride on a camel and see the red sea. and since there is no way to earn money for this trip to chinga shoes, he decides to do something unexpected for himself . what are you doing with the pigs came up with a russian director and it's very nice to see such work. mature with her own opinion is beautiful, showing nevertheless our homeland, i rather liked this film, santa claus came to me today. real real there are such people

and that not a very distinctive feature of all vitaly suslin's projects is the director's endless love in their heroes. this could be seen in one of his first works in the film the head of two ears, which became the laureate of the cinema brand and in the seventh run along the contour of the globe, which won the window to europe at the vyborg festival, in addition to this love for the camel arch, there are many mysterious and riddles begin with the name itself. can you explain to the audience here, uh, the meaning of the name, the meaning of which was put into it. the only thing i can say is that a person does not read to see a camel ride and see the magical red sea, so the word the camel is present in the title of the picture here, and everything else. it seems to me that everyone will already fantasize and draw his own view of the world on things. eh, how it is manifested in your heroes, but in general i shoot every picture to myself. it seems to me that

every director shoots about himself. here through some forms. scenario construction, of course, i constantly argue with myself in big conflicts every second, therefore, of course, the heroes, too, with their big conflicts, happen in disputes. well, you dissolve yourself in the heroes, that is, you are in you are the main character in his friend and in his son and partly in pigs, and these pigs are also his wife and of course they appreciate. and the snow maiden was the source of inspiration for this picture, what served, maybe , how, in general, does this happen to you in general, everything starts with some small detail. well , sometimes you see the scene. e. well, it's just clear, some kind of you see, you think, what kind of story could have happened here originally a car. well this is for me this point - it's a thrill. this excitement should make you want to start drawing something. do you remember the one the moment when this point arose, uh, the film has a different camel. it was a clearing, which

actually plays an important role in this picture. this is a clearing in my hometown. this is where i was born and raised. hey, where do i live now. i often come there at different times of the year to shoot and communicate with her. there is never anyone there. almost. well, here's a moment. i saw her in a new way, i wanted to tell something about her. here you have such a picture, you love it, yes, it inspired me. how long does it take? i don't know who is talking about what he it finds insight and inspiration there are such moments. indeed, it's amazing when you start to hear some notes, and you understand that it's not for you. well, that is, how you are just like a conductor. and uh, that's a lot of work. well, that is, you need to uh, constantly force yourself like kung fu kung fu, yes. that's why your konfu is stronger than any other kung fu you are assiduous, yes, forcing the black network events, otherwise nothing will work. no, i think so, i was very fond of the word work. i really love.

would i love those people who don't love so much your profession. and what do you, as a director of a modern russian author, see the importance of the new competition at the moscow international film series, and the moscow festival is a large amount of press, so russian films are shown at this festival, they write about them, they say, there is a chance to reach the audience, at least the slightest, but it's there it's great, that's why i somehow i think it was so logical i was even surprised. why didn't this happen before. so god forbid that he become so permanent. here is a competition among the main competitive programs of the moscow international film festival, the national russian premiere in it showed a new picture of semyon serdina, a similar person. it's good, we know the people with whom we communicate every day and whether we know at all, semyon serzin is trying to find an answer to this question. whose new film was shown on sunday at the uf as part of the competition

program, russian premieres on the plot of the writer alexander ivanov are found dead after falling from the window of a multi-storey building and the investigator, who undertakes to interrogate his acquaintances. suddenly it turns out that they all describe the deceased in completely different ways, someone calls ivan too closed, someone too open, someone sad , someone cheerful, how he was, in fact, no one can explain it. well, what can i say? not very pleasant, he was a great optimist directly studied labor was not successful. i would n't name him. it looks like a person. semyon serdinu was filmed based on the play. dmitry danilov testimonies for the director this film is a kind of roll call with his previous work as a man from podolsk, the remaining laureate of the 2020 film brand, nikolay and you look at simple ways. look for the main roles in a similar person were played by victoria isakova taisiya vilkova and lyubov tolkalina and natalya mokritskaya became its producer already, who worked with ferzin

on a man from podolsk. i congratulate you on the participation of the moscow international film festival in the competition program russian premieres, a similar person, a similar person. who is this? in a sense, a detective story, so, uh, it's hard to start explaining this somehow here and do without spoilers. uh, but i guess it's like all of us in that sense, i guess that's what the title refers to. is there an exact description of a person, in principle, is it either possible at all? well, this is just a difficult question. in the sense that any person. it arises by itself and manifests itself only in contact with someone else. he can have any hypostasis. well, that is, now we are talking to you about this one thing, then we will go out and talk to natasha and i will be a different person. and natasha will also be a different person. and you after this interview will be a different person. there

really is someone here. it's very hard to define, uh. do you think that today, uh, the detective is at the end of uh of his uh development, or are we still on the verge of some new turn when , uh, the investigation itself does not become an end in itself. yes, but it acquires some other layers or goes completely into some other e dimensions then. yes, but there is probably no such particular genre aspiration. uh stick detectives around here, just like me uh seems to have such a hoax. yes, when one is one genre. as a result, how would he line up in another, so that, in principle, there is probably in a person from podolsk, yes, there is such a game with the audience, how difficult it is to work with a seed. if you can talk about it. uh, in his presence, of course, i can speak in his presence, we had

experience working with a man from podolsk and rubbed each other, but not for long. and i saw the director in the seed. and this is a great rarity and his knowledge. sounds like my knowledge. we agree with him here. we do everything better for the movie we do it for the movie it turned out and when we are imprisoned for cinema they are on their own ambitions, then cinema. it turns out as in this case. our cinema, and especially film distribution, which is actually very young, has its own growing pains and a certain segment and lower cinema. e needs some kind of really curatorial approach, and the ministry of culture supports a huge number of films, and there are not enough author's films of debut films of expert opinion. and i think that the moscow festival should become this expert, and the moscow festival should also have an initiatory function, that is, it should be

told that this is an author's film and it should be watched. for such, for such, for uh, in the seventies and eighties, there were film clubs, there was a great culture of watching complex films, and i think that we should reproach this for oleg , the main character of the f-20 film. arseniy gerasimova lives somewhere on the outskirts of st. petersburg, works in a car repair shop and spends all his free time boxing. one of his workouts ends in a serious injury and tragedy, and the guy starts seem like he's going crazy strong. in appearance, he is incredibly sensitive and weak inside, but in the main battle his opponent will be drug addiction. there is one win in this fight. it will not be enough much more important not to betray yourself . in the 20th debut film of arseny gerasimov , a graduate of the higher courses of scriptwriters and directors

, arseny was also seriously engaged in boxing. this is how it turns out in modern russian cinema. why is there a taboo about this film being shot extremely rarely, and drug addiction, do you think? why a? they don't talk about it. i find it awkwardly uncomfortable. uh, the topic is difficult, perhaps unpleasant for many, but this is a certain problem of our reality. so they don’t talk about it, well, how about everything bad, in a sense, it tries to hide it from people to talk about something more pleasant, what, what did you want to say about this problem, as an author. well, i would actually, uh, not focus at all on the drug issue in this film, it's kind of like that. e. an accompanying tool for

unraveling the internal conflict of the protagonist. here and here it’s still more of a movie, it’s about some kind of decency. uh, for me, decency is such a certain term as deep responsibility for committed actions. so the film is still more about this than boxing drug addiction. e choice. uh, like another dramatic circumstance in the picture, and it's also the way of a boxer. why boxing? eh? what role do you play in your life? i was engaged in boxing, but in this sport i am more or less. e, i understand and i can roughly state and how much it was possible to show it more reliable than in others films closer to reality, i tried you to participate in the competition russian premieres new competition at the moscow international

film festival. uh, where do you see the opportunities, uh, that this competition opens up for russian geographers, i would like professional producers to pay attention to all the films participating in this competition, because it is quite difficult to get into the world of cinema with good interesting scripts so that this participation gives some uh some next opportunity. certain big people from the world of cinema, in order to do further, honestly, also on the eve of a special screening of the history of the failed film from nikita mikhalkov and andrey zaitsev, this is the rare case when a great master made a film about a film that 30 years ago, decided not to show the audience, by the way, in the next issue

of our diary, see an exclusive interview with the president of the moscow international film festival nikita mikhalkov. in 1993, nikita mikhalkov made a film remembering chekhov in it four representatives of literary bohemia share their impressions of personal meetings. with the great writer who has already passed away, the heroes gather in a restaurant, have a snack and talk. and as we suspect, they do not resist the temptation to embellish something, and in some places they even boast water. uh-huh , there are three of us. everyone has something to remember. let each lord tell what is there about the distance, however, in the process of installation. nikita sergeevich realized that he had not been able to get a picture for 3 years. he spent to fix something, but in the end decided not to let chekhov on the screen. and today, almost 30 years later, mikhalkov, together with the director. andrey zaitsev made a documentary project about a film that did not work out

and, together with the audience, tried to answer the question. what exactly was his mistake? cinematography is not just a profession for you. but something more. he demands from you. another other concentration another attitude another seriously, if you are at some point, very many who take revenge on someone, cinema and don’t even feel it, they know they don’t they understand that they are taking revenge on the cinema for how careless they are towards it. on monday, a new film enters the competition program among russian premiers. boris akopov. kat v. the plot centers on a girl from an escort service recently, who has

become a mother and is forced to choose between easy money and motherhood forced by whom the main question of the film. do you want to sign up as an accomplice, not a lawyer, you need to continue work and the main competition for the audience and jury members will be able to evaluate the film hives of peruvian director, louis, basurit and a picture without prior agreement of the iranian behruz showby. it is interesting that the plots of both films are connected with the return home, the heroes come to their hometowns , from which they left many years ago and arrange an audit of their entire lives. well, within the framework of russian programs, there will be a premiere screening of a film by mikhail raskhodnikov, not an orphanage, and a retrospective of director vitaly melnikov , whom we know from the paintings of the eldest son of the head of chukotka vacation in september and others. ivan kudryavtsev was with you and this is the fourth page diary of the moscow international film festival
