Many producers were able to take advantage of the cancellation of quarantine, - Alieva comments on the news. -In this year's selection, there has been a very noticeable tendency to make movies based on true events. Directors have become much more willing to work with the material of the past, to find relevance in it for our time. When it comes to genres, drama still dominates - almost half of the films submitted for selection. Among them, one can note a strong emphasis on the problems of a person's private life. The drama is followed by comedies - 29 applications. Other genres (fairy tales, dramedies, science fiction, road movie, etc.) are rarely taken up today. ” Source: Intermedia The Topic of Article: ”Kinotavr” took over the dramas. |
