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.
