In honor of the 100th anniversary of Marlen Khutsiev's birth, a creative meeting will be held with his student, director Andrey Istratov. The program includes a film about the master and a discussion about his legacy. On October 4, guests can look forward to a special program dedicated to Marlen Khutsiev - one of the main directors of the "thaw" period. The meeting will open with an introductory speech by Andrey Istratov, a student and follower of Khutsiev's traditions. Then, the audience will watch the documentary film "The Language of Cinema of the Era: Marlen Khutsiev," followed by a discussion with the author. Istratov's film differs from typical biographical works. It focuses not so much on the facts of Khutsiev's personal life, but on how the language of Khutsiev's films - "The Ilyich's Barriers," "July Rain," and others - was formed. This is an inside look at the creative method of a master who remained attentive to the world until the end of his life and never stopped asking himself and his viewers questions. This is not only an opportunity to see a rare film about Marlen Khutsiev but also a chance to get acquainted with the personal memories of his student. For connoisseurs of domestic cinema, this meeting will help to better understand how the language of the "thaw" was created and why it continues to resonate today. Details about the meeting can be found on the website of the Museum of Cinema.
