Virtual opening ceremony lasted for an hour. And the organizers wisely ordered every minute of it. Was and the joy of recognizing, and meeting over a hundred people gathered for the opening of Zoom. All longing for the time spent in isolation at the festival communication. Recall that the “Mirror” is the first major film festival, which this year explores digital format, it goes from 25 to 30 June on the platform of the Internet-cinema tvzavr.
the Most important event of the virtual open, of course, was the presentation of the prize “For outstanding contribution to cinema” Director Gleb Panfilov. I presented him the prize of another classic film Sergei Bodrov. The Bodrov – the President of festival “the Mirror” – was in Los Angeles, and Gleb Panfilov in Moscow. Something went wrong with the broadcast happens, and Panfilov could not connect to the radio. However, excerpts from the film shown on the screen (and the stream was conducted on multiple platforms all over the country and even the world), said it all for him. Besides Sergei Bodrov said the all important words about the work of Panfilov.
the Ceremony will be remembered and authentic venue. A small creative team of organizers went to the Ivanovo region, in the town of Yuryevets, on the old brewery, more like a wondrous castle, organized Studio. Led the ceremony Ksenia Rappoport and Alex Agranovich. The young musician Philip Cheltsov played live and accompanied by beautiful melodies all happening. Places at the window of the Studio was struck by its beauty. In addition, the opening showed a video-essay about the festival and Ivanovo oblast made by the winner of last year Alexander Zolotukhin with the participation of Alexander Sokurov.
This is the first “infomercial”, the creation of which was attended by the Maestro on this subject joked leading the ceremony. You can add that, if all were removed, we would have had another is. Ivanovo region was represented in the movie as the magical world that exists in one of the corners of our country. Those who were not there, when viewing a wanted to drop everything and go there in the first place. Those who were, as the author of these lines managed to look at landscapes, people, buildings and sights through different eyes.
live online out filmmakers from all over the world – from Germany, Italy, and other countries. Gift for all viewers of the opening ceremony was a fragment from the new animated film by Andrei Khrzhanovsky “Nose, or Conspiracy “such”. The picture last week received a jury Prize at the prestigious festival in Annecy, wrote about the “RG”. Andrey Hrzhanovsky, the virtual who attended the ceremony, told the fascinating story of how Dmitri Shostakovich gave him permission to screen his Opera the Nose. Ont of the screen was impossible to put down.
the Festival continues. Online happens much more interesting. What can be read in “RG”. Let’s hope that the closing ceremony which will be held by artists Yuri Kolokolnikov and Olga Bodrova, will be no less ably done. Besides, it will be awarded not one prize but several.
