Despite the fact that Mikhalkov actively communicated with the press, posing for them on the red carpet, communicated with colleagues and artists, periodically waving his hands, the fact that the director did not look good did not escape the attention of journalists. Mikhalkov lost a lot of weight and seemed somewhat haggard. The malaise literally eats up the filmmaker.

Nevertheless, Mikhalkov tries not to lose heart. "The festival is the world of cinema that either attracts to itself or not. I am grateful to the Muscovites for the fact that they, in spite of everything, attended the shows," Nikita Sergeevich shared in communication with the press. One of the first to greet him was actress Ekaterina Vilkova.

The director admitted that after the closing ceremony he would have to return to the hospital. Apparently, he never fully recovered.

As Dni.Ru wrote, the MIFF is one of the most representative and prestigious film forums in the world. His story actually began in 1935. Then it took place for the first time, but then there was a break of almost a quarter of a century. Therefore, the official birth year of the festival is considered to be 1959, when it was renewed.

At the end of September, the event took place for the third time international scale"Eurasian Bridge". This film festival was invented and brought to life by Nikita Sergeevich Mikhalkov. The pearl of Crimea, Yalta, was chosen as the venue for it. - Yalta, Bunin, Chekhov - life was wonderful here, the events of "The Lady with the Dog" took place here. And after some time, it suddenly became clear that all this (Chekhov, memories, theater, rain, sun) is in another country. Thank God it happened the way it did. And we know that the theater, and Chekhov's memory, and Bunin, and rain, and the sun here in Yalta again became Russian, - Nikita Mikhalkov said a year ago at the opening of the film screening.

This year, the master in Yalta was awaited with great impatience. However, as Komsomolskaya Pravda already wrote, the film festival was held without its creator. The director was unable to attend due to health problems. Meanwhile, information that Mikhalkov was unwell appeared in early September. What exactly happened to the cinematographer was unknown.

The day before, on October 4, Nikita Sergeevich opened a new academic year at the Academy named after him. After talking with students and another five hundred listeners, Mikhalkov spoke to reporters. When asked by Komsomolskaya Pravda about why he could not come to Crimea and how his health was, he even joked. - Unfortunately, I had to do two hip surgeries. And I'm walking, limping around Moscow, - the director smiles. I hope I get back in shape. Two operations in a month, and the month has not yet passed. it serious shock. But I am in the ranks and I hope that this did not affect what we are doing today.

We couldn't help but ask the maestro if there are any chances for those who come to the Nikita Mikhalkov Academy as students. Is the director looking for actors at master classes? - I'm not looking for actors at the master classes, - he explains. - When we create a script, we usually write it for specific actors with rare exceptions. In general, I can’t stand samples, it’s humiliating for an artist. When an actor tries out, everyone smiles at him, and then they don’t call him again. I try not to hurt my acting brothers and sisters.

Nikita Mikhalkov missed the film festival in Yalta called "Eurasian Bridge", the ideological inspiration of which is the director himself. The reason was good: Mikhalkov had serious health problems. Fortunately, now all the worst is behind, and fans of Nikita Sergeevich's work can breathe easy: the master of cinema is again at the helm.

“I really wanted to come to the festival, but the sports injury I received does not allow me to do this yet,” Mikhalkov’s words were conveyed in the press service of the festival. As it turned out later, Mikhalkov had to undergo two surgeries in September.

“Unfortunately, I had to do two surgeries in a row on my hip. Well, nothing, but I’m walking, limping around Moscow, but I’ll get back into shape again, ”he said after a master class for students and graduates of theater universities, and also added that his recovery was going according to plan.

After an injury for some time, the director was somewhat limited in physical capabilities and walked on crutches. “He is sick now, he had an operation. Nothing tragic is expected, but there was an unpleasant injury of a sporting nature, ”said Nikita Sergeevich’s friend, artist Alexander Adabashyan, in a conversation with reporters.

Recall that the Eurasian Bridge was held for the first time two years ago. This year, the opening of the film festival took place at the Yalta Chekhov Theater. The hosts of the ceremony were Alexander Strizhenov and Maria Kozhevnikova. The event featured nine gaming and eight documentaries. The program also included the last film of the late Vera Glagoleva, “Not Strangers”, which was eventually awarded a special diploma. The award was given to the lead actress People's Artist Russian Tatyana Vasilyeva. “We worked at a frantic pace - we practically made this film in two weeks, thanks to the energy that Vera laid down, the energy of overcoming,” the actress said.

Among the star guests of the closing ceremony, one could see Vladimir Steklov, Kirill Zaitsev with his pregnant wife, Dmitry Kharatyan with his wife Marina Maiko and others. The venue for the film festival was not chosen by chance: even Mikhalkov himself noted that "in many respects the future of our cinema should and will be connected precisely with the Crimea, the real cradle of Russian cinema."

Nikita Sergeevich has a lot of work ahead of him in the field of cinema, so now he is not up to illness. True, the operations left their mark. “Two operations in a month, this is such a serious shock, but I am in the ranks,” he shared with the Moscow city news agency.

At the end of September, the Eurasian Bridge international event took place for the third time. This film festival was invented and brought to life by Nikita Sergeevich Mikhalkov. The pearl of Crimea, Yalta, was chosen as the venue for it.

- What the viewer calls talent and magic, do you call skill?

Of course. This is added to the talent that should be. Although, by and large, the brilliant Stanislavsky came up with a system for people with average abilities. It was Mikhail Chekhov who went further, this is, so to speak, aerobatics. But in principle, the whole system of Stanislavsky allowed people who were not so talented according to this system to exist, play in the theater and be successful.

- Is it possible to learn acting?

The craft can be learned. But the Gift of God is different. The craft is taught by the great ingenious system of Stanislavsky. What we are doing is unreal without Stanislavsky. Everything can be taught. There are things that can and should be based on technology and craft, but taking off brings talent. Kissed by the Lord or not.
