Only the uninitiated, which is the majority of the citizens of the Earth, believe that the surface of the Earth is almost always calm. However, the film “Earth Machine” clearly demonstrates that the statement about the static terrain is very far from the truth.
Did you know that there are at least 50 large earthquakes and 12 large volcanic eruptions on Earth every day? That every second the Earth's surface under our feet is moving? Going to the center of the Earth, the authors of the popular science film "Air Force: They want to show what important processes are hidden under the earth’s crust, what miracles can be encountered there, and why geology is so important in our lives, whether we know it exists or not. You are waiting for a planet like you have never seen before. close

Director Phil Grabsky, specializing in the shooting of documentaries, gathered competent speakers (Robert Lindsay, Christopher Riopell) and compiled reliable biographies of famous artists whose works are presented in the video exhibition "Impressionists". As the filmmaker explained, he treated each viewer with great respect and in his film tried to convey to the audience a new look at the loud word, which became the name of a whole direction in painting.
The focus of the film is the French collector of the XIX century Paul Durand-Roel, who owns the title of patron of impressionism. In the 70s, he helped the Salon of the Les Miserables artists regain public recognition. As far as we know, the art dealer bought paintings for little money, but only thanks to his labors and patience, the ambiguously perceived genre became popular again. He managed to save a whole direction in art from death and glorify painters, whose paintings today are worth a fortune.
In 1886, Durant organized a large exhibition in New York, where he presented his amazing collection. Thanks to his desperate decision, thousands of people saw the beautiful works of contemporaries, later recognized as geniuses and masters of their craft.
Today his collection is a phenomenon in history. It allows you to conduct a comprehensive study, assess the merits of paintings, get acquainted with the history of their creation and learn about the tragic fates of great artists. Particular attention is paid to the biography of Claude Monet, who, after moving to Paris, became acquainted with the bohemian, which influenced his worldview and painting technique.
Representatives of the Venetian school deliberately abandoned black, preferring bright colors and sharp strokes. At that time, few managed to capture the essence of fine art that does not correspond to the real image. So, one of the famous paintings of Edward Manet was recognized as unfinished, his brilliant ideas were trampled and critics compared the canvas with wallpaper.
Grabski treated the large-scale project as an adventure. When the director who shot the historical film "The Amazing Story of Rome with Terry Jones" received an offer to create a 90-minute film "Impressionists", he did not believe in the reality of the plan. For a few seconds he thought it was another joke and it was a comedy show. When Phil did agree to shoot, he decided to do everything possible to make the audience fall in love with the incredible beauty of the canvas and the younger generation, who had never attended art exhibitions, discovered the treasury of world culture. close
