IVANOVO. Author’s cinema at the Tarkovsky festival.

The Tarkovsky Festival, which ended in the Ivanovo Region on June 19, presented a representative and relevant selection of novelties from author’s cinema. Against the background of some weak tapes, inevitable in any program, the leadership of others seemed undeniable by the jury. Although not all his preferences were unconditionally accepted by the audience. This also applies to the debut feature film of the Colombian director Felipe Guerrero (Felipe Ignacio Guerrero Fuentealba), who received the Grand Prix of the festival.

The story of the heroines who moved to the capital of Colombia from the dangerous suburbs destroyed during the hostilities made a powerful impression on the jury chairman Jos Stelling. Which predetermined the choice of the winner. Guerrero, who is called the Colombian follower of Tarkovsky, is actively promoting copyright films based on the company Mutokino, which he founded several years ago. The youth jury, rendering its first verdict at the current “Mirror”, named the work of Alexander Mindadze “Dear Hans, Dear Peter”, as the best Russian film.

The film, which did not leave indifferent and split the audience with the ambiguity of its plot, continues to win well-deserved awards. The “voice” of the team of young film critics was given to the film Já, Olga Hepnarová (“I, Olga Hepnarova”) by Peter Kazda and Tomas Weinreb (Petr Kazda, Tomás Weinreb). The film tells about a crime committed in the early 70’s on one of Prague’s streets. The truck, which was driven by Khepnarov, crashed into the crowd at a bus stop. A deliberate and cold-blooded hitting took the life and injured two dozen people who were not guilty of the troubles of Kepnarova. Since childhood, she felt herself an outcast in society, she took revenge on him without a shadow of regret in such a barbaric way. Her execution was the last precedent for a similar sentence in Czechoslovakia against a woman. The Big Mirror of Artdocfest received an outstanding film about the growing up of an autistic boy, Don Juan, Jerzy Sladkowski. “Small” - to the Russian film “Salamanca” about a Mexican village that gave shelter to the Mennonite community.
