Winners of the 38th Moscow International Film Festival. At the closing ceremony last appeared pribolevshy president Nikita Mikhalkov (before he left the hospital to introduce important for the state documentary project “Magnitsky Act Backstage.”, “Revealing” and of Magnitsky, and the reasons for sanctions against Russia – read the analysis of the film in the “Novaya Gazeta» ). The main star of the ceremony (in the absence of others) was 39-year-old Uruguayan actress Natalia Oreiro, who arrived at the Russian premiere of the documentary “Our Natasha.” Our Natasha shocked the audience revealing outfits and sang a song from the TV series “Wild Angel”. The first line of the song translated roughly: “I swear that she is not well know what I want.” Despite the holiday visibility (you can argue “tastes”), the thrill of the festival remained bleak
Of course, the MIFF for cinephiles -. Is still an opportunity to see many of the most important films of the season, winners of Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin, traditionally a strong documentary program. But these films special programs collected Plakhov Andrew, Peter Shepotinnik, Stas Tyrkinym, are, as a rule, in small halls. You can find interesting pictures in competition. In “Novaya Gazeta”, we talked about the two main winners: Iranian «Daughters» (the top prize) and movie «37» (the prize for Best Director – Puk Grasten)
But the long and widely known: competition MIFF audience hardly visited, and on press conferences, the vast majority of movies are so few journalists that embarrassing to the authors.
One of the organizers of the festival admitted that it was correct to cancel the press conference, but not possible – at all the big festivals they have …
at the International Film festival is like everything that is on the other big festivals. Including a considerable budget and sponsors. But this “as if” every year more and more obvious
It seems that the festival pretends that he -.. Festival
Rare large producers and well-known cinema figures coming to Moscow – as a general rule, submit a retrospective and get the prize “for his contributions to world cinema.” This year’s winners were the Spanish Carlos Saura and classic British director Stephen Frears, who award in the small room quickly handed Cyril Razlogov.
Press here working in difficult conditions. In the press center – volunteers are not able to clearly answer any question. Tass correspondent was forced to write about the torments of hell, which has undergone in its attempts to break through to the closing ceremony. From the press service of the Directorate of her otfutbolivat and even to the general producer Vereshchagin. “Without the tickets to the closing ceremony of the 38th Moscow International Film Festival were journalists from leading Russian public and political publications”, – news agency reported. But if the festival could not invite journalists, he arranges broadcast (in Cannes large hall Debussy release to the press, in parallel is broadcast in the press center. Yes, recently the closing ceremony on monitors could be seen in the foyer of the “Pushkin»).

Yes, the Moscow audience could see the Cannes prize-winners at the Moscow festival. To join, so to speak, to a semantic and artistic breakthroughs of world cinema. But the majority of these films are bought and will be released in the rental. You can not say about the prize-winners MIFF. Here, for example, Iran’s “daughter” Reza Mirkarimi, awarded the “Golden St. George.” Who in Russia will see this really festival films, exploring the miscommunication problem, internal gaps in the family?
A few years ago Mirkarimi has received the Grand Prix at the Moscow film Festival for the film “It’s easy.” Have you seen him?
MIFF problem is not “weak competition”, not “uninteresting, outdated movie”, as journalists like to write. And first of all – in the interest of the deficit, the organizers of the power to make a forum for real living, the public demand. Debug his organization. Consequence is the lack of protection, the festival atmosphere of clear rules.
And the city does not notice, does not know that it turns into a “capital of cinema.” Muscovites and MIFF virtually no overlap. The festival is not their own development programs, motion vector. What cultural hierarchy he sets? Who directed?
In his competition program involved the best films of contemporary world cinema, both in Cannes? It focuses on the social and political aspects, as in Berlin? He is engaged in research problems being life in Eastern Europe, like in Carlsbad? It seems he can not find a place on the festival map. In addition, in connection with the sanctions, in a situation of growing distance between Russia and the outside world, the festival without renewal, without energy fresh ideas to spend more and more difficult. But this is unlikely to understand its leaders. “Yes, this is one of the most challenging festival – he says the president Nikita Mikhalkov told reporters. – But we cease to depend on the arrivals of stars »
