The immersion into the era will begin with an introductory word from curator Nikita Kotik and will continue with the film "Day of Sun and Rain," which became the Soviet response to the "new wave." The screening with an introductory word from curator Nikita Kotik and the film "Day of Sun and Rain" is a full-fledged journey into Soviet cinema, where youth and the city merge into the poetry of the frame. Before the screening, film historian Nikita Kotik will talk about the connection between the film and the exhibition "The Last Summer of Childhood," the context of the work's creation, and why this melodrama is comparable to the French "new wave." Viktor Sokolov's film transports the viewer to autumn Leningrad, where a straight-A student and a slacker escape from classes to meet the wind, rain, and inner freedom. In the film based on the script by Edward Radzinsky, each scene breathes documentary authenticity, the real life of streets and yards. There is no moralizing from adults-only their coldness and indifference, against which the world of childhood seems especially bright. The screening is supported by the State Film Fund of Russia, meaning that viewers will see rare archival footage in decent quality. The curator's introductory word will turn the screening into a conversation about how cinema and exhibitions can intertwine and provide new meanings. This format will be interesting to connoisseurs of rare cinema, students, and anyone who misses the sincere cinematic language of the past. Details about the meeting can be found on the cinema center's website.
