December 23, the first meeting from Winter Cinema Evening cycle will be held in Magnezit Museum. City residents are offered 7 meetings of the movie club that will take place throughout winter as part of the programme of Satka’s Permanent Residence of the Ural Industrial Biennale.

The event will be held by Liliya Mikhaylovna Nemchenko, the cinema historian, PhD in philosophy. She will tell of the cinema history and genres of modern cinema, and of how the cinema appeared and changed through the years. Those who will come to the meeting will be able to learn more about this kind of art by watching the most interesting extracts from different movies.

For the first lecture, the event providers have prepared rich content based on films of French businessman and director Georges Méliès, and Vladislav Starevich, who had created the first in the world narrative stop-motion animation films. Meeting participants will learn, why the early cinema appeals to the attraction. The emphasis of the meeting will be a silent feature film by Starevich, Night before Christmas (1913). For many years, this adaption of Nikolay Gogol's tale has been considered a bold, unique combination of fiction and animation cinema. Ivan Mozzhuhin, a star of the Russian cinema, performed the Devil.

- For Satka residents, this is a new format of meetings. But I think it will be interesting and demanded. For example, in Yekaterinburg, the cinema club tradition has struck root for many years, – Evgenia Chayka, Satka coordinator of the Permanent Residence of the Ural Industrial Biennale, comments.

The first lecture of the cinema club will take place in Magnezit Museum December 23. Subsequent meetings are planned for January 20, February 10, February 17, March 10, March 24 and April 7.

The meetings start at 6.00 p.m. Entrance is free.
