Het is een uitstekende inleiding op zijn gekwelde, sombere universum. Mulloy observeert op een zeer expressieve manier de wereld rondom hem, zonder te karikaturaal te zijn, in een primitieve en minimalistische vorm. Via animatiefilm kan hij soms totaal absurde situaties uitvinden om de echte aard van de dingen beter te ontsluieren. Marsmannetjes onthullen de aard des mensen, prehistorische personages verraden het actuele puriteinse klimaat. Spiegeltje, spiegeltje... Hij valt zijn favorieten thema’s aan zoals de seksualiteit en het puriteinse, de fallocra- tie en de gewelddadige maatschappij, de religie en de onder- werping, of de menselijke stompzinnigheid in het algemeen, zeer vaak met een meedogenloze humor. Deze kortfilms tonen zijn werk dat steeds evolueert, en dat met de lange film “The Christies” weer een nieuwe wending heeft genomen.

  • Press-Kit Presents a Film by Konstantin Lopushansky THROUGH THE
    Press-kit presents A film by Konstantin Lopushansky THROUGH THE BLACK GLASS The drama titled Through the Black Glass is a modern interpretation of such famous classical plots as Cinderella and Scarlet Sails, with a touch of Chaplin`s City Lights. The main heroine is an 18-year-old blind girl from a provincial orphanage, who unexpectedly gets a chance of a lifetime. A wealthy man offers to pay for an expensive eye surgery on the condition that she agrees to marry him before the operation, without a single glance at the groom. Alas, fate hands out happy endings sparingly, and the vision, miraculously regained by the heroine, gives her an unpleasant insight into stark realities of life. The film directed by Konstantin Lopushansly, who also wrote the original script, is not just a new rendition of the classical plot; it is a deep glance at the ambiguous relationship between men and women in the present-day Russia. The author makes an emphasis on dynamics of editing, music, photography, and, obviously, the choice of actors. The director says, “You can analyze the film in view of several genres: tragic melodrama, a modern rendition of the classical Cinderella plot, and a religious drama loosely based on the conceptual conflict in Dostoevsky`s Gentle Creature. The story is centered at the tragic collision of two world outlooks: the religious belief and the atheistic view, set against the newest Russian history. The latter interpretation is the closest to me, and is in tune with my views as a film director. Yet, this still leaves space for detailed elaboration into the other two variants, melodrama being the priority.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Time Wanderers by Arkady Strugatsky Prominent Russians: Arkady and Boris Strugatsky
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Time Wanderers by Arkady Strugatsky Prominent Russians: Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are well-known Soviet-Russian science fiction writers with a highly developed fan base. They became the spiritual leaders of Russian sci-fi literature in the 1960s, and to this day, their influence remains immense - entire generations were brought up on their books and loved them for their unique style. Though the early works of the Strugatsky bothers lacked individuality – at the beginning of their writing career their novels and short stories resembled those of Ivan Yefremov, a Soviet paleontologist and science fiction author who was the brothers’ lifetime icon and role model. Strugatsky novels were very different from ordinary sci-fi novels: strictly speaking they didn’t write showpiece science fiction. The brothers have always tried to write not just about spaceships, technology or other fantastic stuff, but also about people and their problems. At the beginning of the 1990s the brothers became the best-known and loved Soviet science-fiction writers abroad – their works were translated into multiple languages and published in 27 countries; a success Russian writers rarely experienced in the West. Arkady Strugatsky. Childhood. Arkady Strugatsky was born on 28 August 1925 in Batumi, Georgia; his mother was a teacher and his father – a fine arts expert, who at the same time earned a bit on the side as a newspaper editor. Two months after the elder son was born, in autumn 1925, the family moved to Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). When WWII broke out, Arkady first helped constructing defenses and then assisted at the grenade manufactory.

Published in the Slovak Republic Zhurnal ministerstva narodnogo prosveshcheniya Has been issued since 2014. E-ISSN: 2413-7294 2018, 5(2): 82-97 DOI: 10.13187/zhmnp.2018.2.82 www.ejournal18.com Russian Cinema: A Very Short Story Alexander Fedorov a , a Rostov State University of Economics, Russian Federation Abstract The article about main lines of russian feature film history: from 1898 to modern times. The history of Russian cinema goes back more than a century, it knew the stages of rise and fall, ideological repression and complete creative freedom. This controversial history was studied by both Russian and foreign scientists. Of course, Soviet and Western scientists studied Soviet cinema from different ideological positions. Soviet filmmakers were generally active in supporting socialist realism in cinema, while Western scholars, on the contrary, rejected this method and paid great attention to the Soviet film avant-garde of the 1920s. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the situation changed: russian and foreign film historians began to study cinema in a similar methodological manner, focusing on both ideological and socio-cultural aspects of the cinematographic process. Keywords: history, film, movie, cinema, USSR, Russia, film historians, film studies. 1. Introduction Birth of the Russian "Great Mute" (1898–1917). It is known that the French brought the movies to Russia. It was at the beginning of 1896. However, many Russian photographers were able to quickly learn a new craft. Already in 1898, documentary plots were shot not only by foreign, but also by Russian operators.

Its history was one of both proud state supporter while simultaneously experiencing the weight of state censorship. However down the years many Russian, Polish and Czech filmmakers developed their own codes for circumventing censors, which resulted in cinema that championed all the finest qualities of filmmaking – challenging, imaginative and distinctive in cultural style. Since l990 and the collapse of Soviet Communism, support for this unique film making heritage has been lacking. So it is with great pride that Russian Resurrection the Russian Film Festival in Australia enters its 5th year.
