Немое кино : Магия кинематографа в буквах и картинках

V ėtoĭ knige sobrany 10 filʹmov, kotorye izmenili ne tolʹko kinematograf, no i mir. Ikh sozdateli - beskompromissnye mechtateli i smelʹchaki, tvorivshie bez ogli͡adki na instrukt͡sii i pravila. Oni cherpali vdokhnovenie v zhizni i drugikh vidakh iskusstva, pererabatyvai͡a i pridumyvai͡a dli͡a nikh novye sposoby vyrazhenii͡a. Ėpokha nemogo kino byla nedolgoĭ, no uzhe togda poi͡avilisʹ vse privychnye nam zhanry: ostrosi͡uzhetnye trillery, khorrory, romanticheskie komedii, masshtabnye istoricheskie dramy i dazhe fantasticheskie filʹmy. I ot nikh zakhvatyvaet dukh ne menʹshe, chem ot sovremennykh blokbasterov. Oni prodolzhai͡ut voskhishchatʹ, vdokhnovli͡atʹ i vli͡ubli͡atʹ v kinoiskusstvo i v nashe vremi͡a. Kirill Gori͡achok ― istorik kino, kandidat filosofskikh nauk, laureat premii Gilʹdii kinovedov i kinokritikov (2020) i aspirant Kembridzha, avtor knig o rannem sovetskom kino, vedushchiĭ kanala o kinoarkhivakh "Bolʹshoĭ Pudovkin". Ani͡a Zhurko ― illi͡ustrator, khudozhnik, prepodavatelʹ i khudozhestvennyĭ redaktor, soosnovatelʹ dizaĭn-bi͡uro "Shchuka", pobeditelʹ festivali͡a illi͡ustrat͡sii "Mors" 2022 i 2024 godov. Nemoe kino prosushchestvovalo sravnitelʹno nedolgo - kakikh‑to tridt͡satʹ let. No v ėtot period slozhilosʹ vse to, chto my vidim na ėkranakh svoikh kompʹi͡uterov i smartfonov. Ėta kniga - uvlekatelʹnoe puteshestvie v burnoe proshloe kinematografa dli͡a deteĭ i vzroslykh, kotorye interesui͡utsi͡a filʹmami, risovaniem, istorieĭ iskusstva ili prosto li͡ubi͡at uznavatʹ novoe. Emkie teksty i nasyshchennye illi͡ustrat͡sii dai͡ut kli͡uchi k tomu, kak ustroeno kino - tekhnicheski i ėmot͡sionalʹno. Kazhdai͡a glava - otlichnyĭ povod ne tolʹko dli͡a obsuzhdenii͡a, no i dli͡a sovmestno prosmotra. Melʹes veril, chto kino dolzhno daritʹ zriteli͡u radostʹ i chudo. Ego fantazii͡a byla bezgranichna: on sni͡al bolee 500 kartin, iz kotorykh okolo dvukhsot sokhranilisʹ. Rezhissera po pravu nazyvai͡ut ott͡som zhanra fantastiki v kino. Ėksperimentirui͡a s tekhnicheskimi vozmozhnosti͡ami, on pridumyval neveroi͡atnye dli͡a svoego vremeni tri͡uki i spet͡sėffekty i opredelil razvitie kinematografa do nashego vremeni: supergeroĭskie boeviki i dazhe filʹmy uzhasov vsem obi͡azany usatomu fokusniku. Dli͡a vsekh li͡ubiteleĭ kino i iskusstva v t͡selom; Dli͡a tekh, kto tolʹko nachinaet znakomitʹsi͡a s iskusstvom kino; Dli͡a uchenikov kinoshkol; I dli͡a rabotnikov sfery kino.

This book contains 10 films that have changed not only cinema, but also the world. Their creators are uncompromising dreamers and daredevils who created without regard for instructions and rules. They drew inspiration from life and other forms of art, refining and inventing new ways of expression for them. The era of silent films was short-lived, but even then all the genres we are familiar with appeared: action-packed thrillers, horror films, romantic comedies, large-scale historical dramas and even fantasy films. And they are no less breathtaking than modern blockbusters. They continue to delight, inspire and fall in love with cinema in our time. Kirill Goryachok is a film historian, PhD in Philosophy, winner of the Guild of Film Critics and Critics Award (2020) and a graduate student at Cambridge, author of books on early Soviet cinema, host of the Bolshoy Pudovkin film Archive channel. Anya Zhurko is an illustrator, artist, teacher and art editor, co-founder of the Shchuka design bureau, winner of the Mors Illustration Festival in 2022 and 2024. Silent films did not last very long — some thirty years. But during this period, everything that we see on the screens of our computers and smartphones has developed. This book is a fascinating journey into the turbulent past of cinema for children and adults who are interested in films, drawing, art history, or just like to learn new things. Succinct texts and rich illustrations provide clues to how cinema works — technically and emotionally. Each chapter is a great opportunity not only for discussion, but also for viewing together. Méliès believed that cinema should bring joy and wonder to the audience. His imagination was boundless: he shot more than 500 paintings, of which about two hundred have survived. The director is rightfully called the father of the genre of fiction in cinema. Experimenting with technical possibilities, he came up with incredible tricks and special effects for his time and determined the development of cinema to our time: superhero action films and even horror films owe everything to the mustachioed magician. For all fans of cinema and art in general; For those who are just starting to get acquainted with the art of cinema; For students of film schools; And for film industry workers.
