About

The big screen returns Soviet animation of the 1960s - a time of bold graphics, irony, and an authorial perspective. The program features short films by Khitruk, Khrzhanovsky, Atamanov, and other masters, where the familiar cartoon becomes a witty conversation about man, city, fantasy, and new artistic freedoms. In the 1960s, Soviet animation noticeably changes its tone: instead of straightforward fairy-tale narratives, graphic experimentation, subtle satire, everyday observations, and authorial play with form increasingly appear. This session shows how the cartoon gradually becomes a language for adults and children, maintaining lightness, humor, and clarity of images. The screen showcases works that feel the movement of the era: artists and directors seek a new rhythm, move away from familiar illustration, and speak to the audience more vividly, sharply, and freely. The program includes six short films from the Soyuzmultfilm studio. "Big Troubles" by Valentina and Zinaida Brumberg combines a family plot with an expressive caricature style. "The Story of One Crime" by Fyodor Khitruk transforms the irritation of an urban dweller into a funny and alarming parable about noise, fatigue, and accumulated tension. "Once Upon a Time There Was a Kazyavin" by Andrei Khrzhanovsky shows a person within a bureaucratic mechanism, while "My Green Crocodile" by Vadim Kurchevsky reveals the poetry of puppet animation through a tender and slightly sad story. "The Ball of Yarn" by Nikolai Serebryakov is built on the plasticity of the material and metaphor, and "The Ballerina on the Ship" by Lev Atamanov adds musicality, movement, and a light theatricality to the program. Entertainment in Yekaterinburg is gathered on our website.
