Favorite video essays from Kinopoisk can now not only be watched, but also read.
The Kinopoisk YouTube channel, which contains almost 400 video essays, appeared 7 years ago and last year surpassed the one million subscriber mark. Short videos about cinema not only tell interesting facts about famous directors and great films, but also help prepare for exams and even write diplomas.
On July 21, at Plus Dacha in Gorky Park, the videoeese channel team will celebrate his birthday and will also present a text version published in partnership with Bookmate. The book “The History of Russian Cinema” was created based on the series “People with Movie Cameras”, which has already received more than 5 million views.
It contains 246 minutes of video about Russian cinema – from the first chronicles to films of recent years – framed in seven chapters:
- Russian cinema from birth to the revolution.
- Cinema avant-garde.
- Cinema of the Stalin era.
- Thaw cinema.
- Stagnate cinema.
- Perestroika and the nineties.
- Russian cinema of the 21st century.
Each chapter of the collection is supplemented with facts that were not included in the video releases, detailed descriptions of cinematic scenes and the original chapter “Russian Cinema from Birth to the Revolution.”
The authors of the video essay “Kinopoisk” – Daulet Zhanaidarov, Ildar Valiullin, Vladimir Lyashchenko, Maxim Semenov, Daniil Smolev, Polina Ryzhova – worked on the texts of the chapters, and film expert and chief art critic of the State Film Fund of the Russian Federation Evgeniy Margolit acted as consultants , teacher at the Moscow Film School and co-host of the Close-up podcast Vsevolod Korshunov, film critics Larisa Malyukova and Vasily Koretsky.
