Heroes in Cinema

Every era has its own heroes—both in real life and on screen. Cinema captures the spirit of the times, reflects reality, and looks toward the future, projecting society’s values, ideals, and dreams. What kind of heroes do audiences want to see today? Do they want to see contemporary figures, stories about outstanding historical personalities, or beloved characters from literary classics and modern bestsellers? Or perhaps the time has come to revisit and remake the beloved Soviet films of the past? These questions will be explored in a discussion featuring renowned directors, producers, distributors, representatives of state film funding bodies, and public figures.
