About national cinema the Minister of culture to speak at present, it is easy And pleasant. And the success of the industry, numerical, obvious, And evaluation by the viewer of the quality of films is increasing - on the other, citizens simply would Not go to the movies And, therefore, there would be record numbers at the box office. Let me remind you of pleasant numbers, And their dynamics in recent years, when record levels have been periodically updated: even to celebrate Not really have time, as you - a new achievement. I'll start With 2012.. Then to our screens out of 84 domestic films, having seen them 28, 7 million viewers, box office - 6, 1 billion rubles, the share of attendance - 16, 4%. 2016: 156 movies, 35, 2 million spectators, fees - 8, 6 billion rubles, the share of attendance - 18, 4%. 2017: 123 film, 54, 7 million viewers, the charges - 13 billion rubles, the share of attendance - 25, 6%. 2018: 142 film 57, 9 million viewers, the charges - 13, 8 billion roubles and the share of attendance - 28, 9%. From 2012 to 2018 - a growth of more than 2 times. There is a sports saying the team is winning, losing coach. In our case it is necessary to speak about the team winning. of course, There is state support for domestic film industry - financial, administrative, And political. It gives a private effect. But neither the Ministry of culture or film Fund films are Not removed. Money And benefits have the opportunity to help the industry, But do Not have the ability to replace a good movie, which the viewer sees with his own eyes on the screen. So. The main component of the success of Russian cinema Is obvious qualitative growth. We have just started to make good films, these paintings focus on the viewer, tell about interesting people, characters And events are based on the close compatriots of the historical-cultural and moral values. And most importantly, the Russian film industry in the last few years learned to produce such films Not from case to case, But systematically. For this reason, I'm Not talking about individual successes, And the high quality of the industry as such. And This excellent quality is confirmed by the quantitative indicators And feedback from viewers. And very importantly: record our film shows in the face of unprecedented tough market competition With " global Hollywood ", which was Not in Soviet times. Of course, the state, putting the support of the domestic film industry as a priority, provides a different kind of market advantage. But, I repeat, All This would be wasted if we didn't have good And truth, competitive movie. Remember how many over the years released movies that Not only got out at the box office, Not only collected a lot of cash, But drew the audience, became events of public life, which is called, said: "Legend N 17" And " 28 Panfilov ", "Viking" And " Gravity ", "Salyut-7" And " moving up ", " Ice " And " T-34 "... And That I'm Not All called, like at the present time five or six a year. Besides Not talking in terms of "good" or " bad ", "like" or "dislike" - the head of the Ministry of culture is Not the reviewer And Not necessarily the example of artistic taste, I have another job. I'm talking About what caused a passionate discussion in society. And This is the most important quality of art is Not to leave people indifferent. Indifferent means, again, that the modern Russian cinema - And in truth to a mass audience, for his fellow citizen as required to be. It is very significant that the viewer responded to the films in the 1st turn of heroic and historical themes: military, space, sports victories the previous one. It is Not only a natural matter of national pride. This winning spirit is an indisputable basis for domestic cultural code, a precious historical experience And the role model. Naturally, modern society, modern state, posing great development challenges, are drawn to experience the unconditional And unconditioned samples in our history And our culture. There, in the bitter past, Everything is Clear, than ended. The scale of values set And Not negotiable. In society today, there are no significant differences in the assessment of this preceding, on the contrary There is relevance in his lessons And experience. And the movie, for its part, is a natural space to promote these historical and cultural values, natural bright artistic space legendirovaniya great, proud names, So to speak, of Russian history And culture - from 28 Panfilov And T-34 To space heroes And sports. There is No need to invent anything - no facts, no idle interpretation. Our story Is a true story that no tale will be jealous. Everything is done To us - only use. For this reason, I confess, the Ministry of culture With the utmost care And With special priority Since 2012 has stimulated the films of heroic and historical subjects - Until " manual control ". We were confident, Because It is a win-win trump card, which takes the spectators back national cinema, will give a powerful impulse to the creative development of the industry. Not to mention the enormous value indisputable samples of culture And history in civic education. After all, our historical legacy Is a powerful motor, even a "perpetual motion machine" improvement And spiritual self-reproduction of Russian culture in the broad sense of the word. Current records of our film show that this conscious policy is justified that the Russian film industry has an impressive creative And productive potential, worth of samples of our great predecessor. And the current record, I am convinced, Not the last word of our cinema. To 100% Not even close. <span style="color:darkgray
