DOI: 10.23951/2312-7899-2018-2-132-150
The article contains a number of problems concerning the history of the Moscow international film festival and the current situation associated with the expansion of the semantic field of contestant films. In the process of gathering statistic data on the program of the festival for 40 years I reveal the organizational and ideological aspects of changing the principles of selecting competitive films. Also I take into account the fact of participation in the program of famous directors and films. Besides I show how many times and which countries received the main prize, as well as which films left a noticeable mark in the history of cinema were shown at the Moscow film festival at different times. The article fully analyzes the specifics of the style and semantic component of the films shown at the last anniversary Moscow film festival. Result of analysis of contestant films reveals the stylistic and semantic trends that characterize the situation in modern cinema. It is found out that accentuation of patriotic feeling actualizes military theme, which connected with instability of social and spiritual situation in the world. Today there is a trend associated with the deepening of realistic tendencies in cinema. Cinema is often refers to classics, as well as to modern reality and is not afraid of experimenting.
Keywords: the film festival, the competition program, modern film process, the theme of war in cinema, emotional empathy, moral message, desacralisation, the screen interpretation of classical literature
