March 3, 1989
In Leningrad, with the participation of the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR, the Second Festival of Parallel Cinema "Cine Fantom" is being held. It was a significant event that was talked about, written about. The first screenings were at the Institute of Film Engineers, and then at the House of Cinema. The director of the festival is Sergei Dobrotvorsky, one of the participants in the "parallel" movement (group "Che-paev"). Within the framework of the festival, a video day was organized, like a mini-festival of parallel video.
At the Festival Dmitry Frolov shows his short film "Dream", almost the first surreal film of the perestroika years, the Aleinikov brothers - "Post-Political Cinema". At that time, the scandalous glory of necrorealism, brilliantly directed by Zhenya Yufit, resounded everywhere. Seeing the raging corpses on the screen, half of the hall immediately ran out screaming. Against this background, Aleinikov's cinema looked somehow out of combat: family photos, handmade collages, official portraits to music on one string ... (Seans magazine, No. 10, 1995)
From an interview with Sergei Dobrotvorsky: "A very interesting thing happened at the festival. It seems to me that there was a certain split (I will not say confrontation) between the Moscow and Leningrad directions of parallel cinema. At the festival it became especially clear that Leningraders were shooting one big film for all. While Moscow suddenly turned out to be a haven of purely auteur cinema ".
The result of the Second Festival was massive PR by the Soviet press of parallel cinema, as evidence of the renewal of Soviet society in the era of perestroika and glasnost. In June 1989, the authoritative magazine "Art of Cinema" will publish a selection of materials devoted to "parallels", however, specifically stipulating "its ambiguous attitude towards published materials."
