Film historian Nikita Kotik will share his perspective on childhood in Soviet cinema and reveal what is hidden behind the scenes. After the introductory speech, viewers will see the film "The Wild Dingo Dog" - a tender story of a dreamy girl's first love, her friendship with her adopted brother, and the feelings that last forever. At this meeting, guests will not only see a wonderful and touching film but also learn about its place in the history of cinema from the film expert. Nikita Kotik will discuss how childhood and first love were portrayed in Soviet cinema. The film by Yulia Karasik transports us to the Far Eastern coast, where the heroine - a dreamy schoolgirl - encounters feelings for the first time that are both frightening and uplifting. The return of her father and the appearance of her adopted brother change her world: an awkward friendship grows into a special attachment. There is nothing forbidden in this - only the sincerity typical of teenagers and the search for one's place in the big world. Galina Polishchuk's debut was a true revelation in Soviet cinema. Her character is fragile and brave, learning to listen to her heart and accept change. The screening is organized with the support of the State Film Fund of Russia and will take place as part of the exhibition "The Last Summer of Childhood." The film lecture will provide viewers with a unique experience - the discussion about the film and its era will become a guiding thread for understanding simple yet profound stories of growing up.
