It was like this. The hall of the club where the concert was held turned out to be four-fifths full. But this was for the owners of the club, who were selling tickets, because for the movie camera it was one fifth empty: the unoccupied seats in each row looked like cracks in a toothy mouth. Grigoriev whispered something with the entertainer, who loudly asked the audience,
"Do you like documentaries?"
The question is clearly not on the topic of the concert, the hall was not ready for it, and the unanimous answer is all the more expensive:
— Yes!
Then the entertainer explained that such and such a film was being shot and that for the frame it would be necessary to occupy the front rows more closely. And that the film group is asking for... etc. The request was instantly fulfilled. For the love of cinema?
During my business trip to Grigoriev's group, I repeatedly asked others a counter question: "How do you feel about documentaries?" But, in my opinion, they can serve as a definite assessment of the work of many, if not most, documentary filmmakers. I'll tell you about it in order.
Evgeny Aleksandrovich Kozlov, the first secretary of the Novourengoy City Party Committee, recalled how he and a group of specialists flew to choose a location for the future city of Novy Urengoy. We flew for a long time, landed, and picked up the helicopter again to look for more and more — it's no joke to put a city in the tundra.
Finally, we found a suitable site. We marked it on the map and suddenly realized what we were doing.the story. That in a few years this place will be known all over the world by the name of the largest gas field. And everyone felt almost like Peter the Great, because everyone could say at that moment: "The city will be laid here!.."
Imagine: everyone then regretted that they did not take a man with a movie camera with them — historical moments need to be recorded. And who can do it better than documentary filmmakers!
But after all, the chronicle is only a fraction of the documentary film, and even the very one that actively changes part of the word "cinema" to "body". TV newsreels are being made by more and more skilled people. Moreover, they have an undeniable advantage over cinematographers: the technical possibility of a momentary transmission of a "picture" from the scene hundreds, thousands of kilometers away.
So, let's remember Bertolt Brecht and we will "not look, but see." We will not only record, but also comprehend events and facts, and be more courageous in addressing problems. Although, I suppose, not all of our viewers will be familiar with this.
Pavel Pavlovich Shibanov, the manager of the Severtruboprovodstroy trust, whose team pulls the route in the Nadym region, said about the documentaries:
— It is a great honor for us to see ourselves in the cinema! When I recognize my friends on the screen, I feel proud of them. And since films usually reflect the best human qualities, even if it doesn't sound too beautiful, I want to look up to these people.
A kind of "Board of Honor", which has been formed on the screens in recent decades, really documentarily (sorry for the reservation — in his best works) shows the real hero of our days. But documentaries have practically no independent distribution, and everyone with whom I had to talk on this business trip to the North saw them (if they saw them) only on television. In big cities, in the best cinemas, a session is formed once a day, the program of which includes two or three documentary short films. In the Polar Ob region, villages along the BAMA highway, and a new state farm under construction in the Non-Chernozem region, this is an unacceptable luxury.
It's strange, because people who work there more often than others become the object of observation and analysis of documentary filmmakers. Sometimes even too often.
I am ready to testify officially: during the week I spent in the film crew of the film "Western Siberia — Western Europe", I had to face seven different film groups who came to shoot the gas-bearing North. Watch USA online porn https://mat6tube.com teens, milfs, matures!
