Programs in film lecture halls and film clubs are gaining more and more popularity in the Moscow Longevity project. Its participants can be the first to attend film and TV series premieres, discuss what they have seen with industry experts, enjoy world cinema classics in the company of like-minded people, and learn to better understand this art form.
"The educational programs of "Moscow Longevity" remain in great demand among older city residents. Here, participants study foreign languages, improve their level of financial and legal literacy, attend lectures on the history of art and much more. Recently, we have seen that classes in film lecture halls are becoming increasingly popular, which have already entered the top 20 most popular. This area is constantly expanding – new partners and formats are appearing, due to which each participant can choose what is interesting to him: get acquainted with the latest news, study the history of cinema, meet with experts in the film industry," – noted
Vladimir Filippov, Deputy Head of the Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population.
Among the project partners is the Moskino cinema chain, where a course created specifically for Moscow Longevity participants has been running for the third year. Experts talk about the full cycle of film production and organize screenings of films from the golden collection of world cinema.
An active participant of Moscow Longevity, Galina Beregovaya, is studying acting as part of the project, so the film lecture hall is also interesting to her from a professional point of view. The woman attends screenings at the Cosmos cinema and closely follows the playbill.
According to Galina Beregovaya, when she attends such meetings, she tries to delve deeper into the acting work and understand what the scriptwriter and director were thinking about. At the same time, the lectures before the film are always very interesting, informative and useful for understanding the plot. As the project participant shared, it is valuable to learn the opinion of experts on the intricacies of the script and director's work and to understand how the film is assembled. Thus, from the last one she watched, she was very hooked by the film "Memory of the Heart". According to the participant of "Moscow Longevity", she always carefully selects films and goes to those that correspond to her views on life.
The film lecture series is held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in 11 Moskino cinemas: Vympel, Iskra, Kosmos, Tula, Salute, Sputnik, Saturn, Molodezhny, Fakel, Angara, Zhukovsky.
Recently, 14 more cinemas in the capital joined the Moscow Longevity project. Here, participants can watch new films and discuss them with experts. Recordings are available at any Moscow Longevity Center or online on the portal Mos.ru.
In addition, the Moscow Longevity Centers continue to operate a film club. During these meetings, visitors watch films with friends and acquaintances, and also participate in discussions and analyses conducted by experts, such as film scholars, film critics, directors or actors. Thus, the guests of the film club have already included Yuri Stoyanov, Olga Khokhlova, Alexander Domogarov Jr., Artem Mikhalkov and many others.
Weekly meetings in the film club are held on Wednesdays at 18:00. You can join them in person at the Moscow Longevity Center "Presnensky". In other centers, film screenings and meetings with speakers are held online in real time. One of the permanent partners of the film club is the largest Russian online cinema, which regularly makes its new releases available for viewing.
Everyone can find an interesting format in the film club — from animation and TV series to popular science and documentaries. For example, in August, the project participants already watched the family comedy "Beware, Children!" and the Russian biographical film about the football player of Moscow "Spartak" Fedor Cherenkov.
Before the screening of the film "Mr. Knockout" about the life of the famous Soviet boxer, USSR and European champion and winner of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics Valery Popenchenko, viewers met with the film's director Artem Mikhalkov.
"I presented a historical film because through literature, through films we must definitely remember our history. Such communication at meetings creates a unifying atmosphere at any age, which fills all participants with very good emotions. It is nice to see that in "Moscow Longevity" there is such a direction, where the older generation unites through art and a common interest in literature, music and cinema," noted Artem Mikhalkov.
All Muscovites over 55 can join the film club. The screening schedule is available at project website.
The film club meetings are held within the framework of a single calendar of classes, which appeared this spring in all Moscow longevity centers. It also includes morning exercises, rhythm classes, courses on maintaining cognitive skills and psycho-emotional health, lectures on health, as well as assistance in applying for electronic government services and much more.
The full calendar of classes can be found at project website or in any Moscow longevity center.
