We are introducing the new film program AMFEST ART&ARTISTS – documentaries about artists who have changed the cultural landscape over the past 150 years. Film screenings start in mid-October and are be held in more than 40 cities in Russia. These are films about star creators – and about people who have pushed the boundaries of the familiar. Among the heroes of the project are the Dadaist Marcel Duchamp, whose idea of the ready-made took over the world, and Roy Lichtenstein with his comic paintings. All the films are dedicated to visionaries who defined the art vectors of the future. Without the innovative photographs of galloping horses taken in the 1870s by Edward Muybridge, there would be no cinema (Gary Oldman will talk about this – as a collector of these unique photographs). The artistic experiments of Eva Hesse carried out in the 1960s – installations and sculptures from “garbage” materials – are hyper-relevant today. A special link in the program is two films about the creative dynasty of the Wyeths: Andrew, the author of the masterpiece "Christina's World" from the MoMA collection in New York, and his son Jamie, the portraitist of Kennedy and Nureyev. There is also a film in the program that poses a pressing question: will the profession of art critic survive or it'is "Out of the Picture"?..
Whaam! Blam! Roy Lichtenstein and the Art of Appropriation
An artist who created pop art together with Andy Warhol, or a great plagiarist?

HAL: Introducing a hero who needs no introduction
There is something funny in the fact that the annotations of the film about Hal Ashby are forced to present their hero through the figure of Quentin Tarantino. Dear modern viewer, they say, the works of this author are included in the personal top of that very director of "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill"...
