2morrow+Manege Film School is launching the first educational course “Ten Stories of the Cinema. A Modern Guide”.

 

The course will open on October 3 and will comprise 10 classes dedicated to key turns in the history of the cinema.

 

The talk will center on specific films, for example, A Corner in Wheat, directed by David Wark Griffith; also, the focus will be on the general trends and phenomena, including the emigration of filmmakers from Nazi Germany and the loss of mass audience.

The author of the course, Kirill Adibekov, has divided the hundred years of filmmaking into ten key episodes spanning subjects from stunts and photography to independent movies and the eventual break-up with the audience.

 

Each lecture will focus on one key event, highlighting its historical and pragmatic significance and placing it within a wider context.

 

The course will constitute a subjective version of the history of filmmaking as construed by director, film expert, poet, translator Kirill Adibekov, who is a co-founder of the website Kinote.info, the curator of the 2morrow / Zavtra film festival, the winner of the Elephant prize in the Sine Charta category (2013) and the author of the retrospectives of Pedro Costa, Jean-Marie Straub and Dani?le Huillet, Johan van der Keuken and Frans van de Staak.
