Life As Movie

The film speaks about an amazing life of Vitaly Melnikov, a master of the Russian cinema. He was born on the banks of the Amur River, and spent his childhood and youth on the banks of the Irtysh River. He left Khanty-Mansiysk to enter VGIK. He devoted the whole life to film art. The film deliberately refused to interview his fellow directors, film critics and actors who starred in Melnikov’s films. They wanted to show Vitaly himself, to listen to him. After all, the answers to many questions you can find in his cine works, books. The most important views he revealed in the family circle. There are two characters in the film – Melnikov himself and his grandson Artemy, who spent a lot of time with the famous grandfathe.
