President Poroshenko signed a law banning the display on the territory of Ukraine films about Russian soldiers and police. Russian prohibited militaristic movies and series, released after 1991, as well as the entire Russian television and film production, created after the aggression against Ukraine, that is, from 2014. Partial restrictions were introduced a few months ago, in October 2014 the State Cinema of Ukraine banned the screening series “Kadetstvo”, “Hounds”, “Investigative Committee,” “SWAT,” “Landing Forces,” “Jarhead” and “military intelligence” .
About the pros and cons of the new legislation on Radio Liberty said the chairman of the Ukrainian National Council on Television and Radio Yuri Artemenko .
Yuri Artemenko in the “Results of the week”
– This law has already carried out in some way, or until the Ukrainian TV show Russian serials and movies?
– The introduction of the law in effect postponed for two months. Two months later, the TV channels have to rebuild their net and begin to carry out the law. But last week I have been collecting TV and say, why wait? If anyone has the opportunity to more quickly, please do quickly.
– How do I take this law?
Our children are dying at the front at the hands of Russian invaders, but this time go on TV series “SWAT” and “Landing Forces”
– In July last year, when the new composition of the National Council only took up his duties, literally at the second meeting to our room, we can say, broke the public with slogans, posters “Stop Russia propaganda “,” Down with the Russian series about a special forces. ” We were a little confusion, because literally worked per week, did not even know what our mandate, we have the right to prohibit. We have guys who broke planted at a table suspended our meeting, said: sit down, let’s talk. Talked, saw the problems and said we’re on your side. I invited the leaders and top managers of leading channels and say: guys, this is wrong when our children are dying, children of our colleagues and friends at the front at the hands of Russian invaders, but this time go on TV series “SWAT”, ” desantura “and the like. Let us, please, take the initiative to remove these films ether. Unfortunately, the conversation did not bring results. Part of the top managers said yes, we did or do. Part said: you know, we do not war, ATO, it’s somewhere far away. And one of the top channel said, we paid $ 9 million last year for the right to show this series, we need them to work. And then we said: guys, since you can not agree, will address the officials will decide the public authorities. We sorted out by the time that the National Council no authority to suspend these movies, it gives the State Cinema rolling ID: show or prohibits or allows the display at a specific time. I delegated three members of the National Council of the expert commission of the State Committee for Cinematography, they took the initiative to review the films, and on the basis of this series of films was set red card. Then events occurred with Okhlobystin, bright his statements against Ukraine, with Porechenkova when he shot a machine gun on the location of the zone of Ukrainian troops. Then again, the State Cinema responded by banning films with Porechenkova and Ohlobystina. Then he began to be born this law, because the industry could not self-regulate, could not, for various reasons to make system solutions. Came out this law. The law is not perfect, but strategically absolutely correct. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it takes in the turbulent atmosphere, very controversial, it is not perfect, but strategically absolutely correct. Fall under the ban of a number of films that, in my opinion, could be a plus to go Ukraine. A typical example – “Leviathan”. Unfortunately, by law it can not be shown on television, only in wide distribution. But it costs that took officials. But strategically law is correct, it will make to limit Russian propaganda and stimulates channels to create their own TV series, and if you do not own because of the financial situation in the country is not the best, then look for ways to make the creation of co-production, co-production of films with Poland, with Turkey, Bulgaria, England, and other countries.
– That is, this only applies to television broadcasts or have restrictions on the screening of films in movie theaters?
For many years the show Russian television serials in Ukraine hoisted spectators on the base products
– The idea is that banned all Russian movies and TV shows that are produced from 1 January 2014, and all films since 1991, which promote law enforcement, and to broadcast films in Russian cinema will need special permission of the expert commission of State cinema. The same example – “Leviathan”, that is, for television there is no default for movie reviews and commission says yes, we allow it to show in the movie. I myself for the “Leviathan”. It’s a hard movie, sad and depressed. Andrei Zvyagintsev – superprofessionalnyh director, it shows all the plagues Russia. I’d like to see this film showed us to see the true face of Russia. But under the current law on television is limited to rent, and in the movie there is, if there is a resolution of the commission State cinema.
– That is, it has nothing to do with the promotion of the Russian power structures?
– No, any ordinary film about love, about life, about anything – he gets banned a priori, because it is made after 1 January 2014.
– Yuriy, do you see the Russian TV series?
The law is not perfect, but strategically is absolutely correct, it will make to limit the Russian propaganda and stimulates the channels to create their own TV series
– I’m a big fan of the movie, especially the series, but my favorite TV series are series made in the USA, the UK, I believe that the Russian a serial production of low-grade. I really like the series “House”, high series, with classwork writers, with the classroom work of the director, the actors. But in all countries of the world in “Doctor House” the highest rating, and low ratings in Ukraine. A series “Interns”, which is a weak parody of “Doctor House”, gathers in Ukraine frenzied ratings. And the reason is that over the years the show Russian television serials in Ukraine hoisted spectators on the base products. Doctor in “interns” drink, take bribes – he added. It is the responsibility of broadcasters, who, instead of raising the level catches up with European, to the world descended on the horizontal level: see how our neighbors. Therefore, the television fell into this trap when over the years, not wanting to attract European, world cinema, limited to the purchase of in Russia and hoisted the audience: but Vasya Petrov is the same as we are. Now the problem is to find the money, finances, create a co-production or start buying foreign films and has raised the bar, looking up from Scoop, if you want. It takes four things: the need finance, need time to tear away from this drug needles, these Russian TV series, TV stations need the desire and patience of viewers who will have to jump from this drug needles.
– A series about cops, special forces, troops are popular in Ukraine?
“Cop Wars”, in the opinion of the educated intelligent viewer – it is anti-Russian, antirezhimny series
– You know, like heroin addicts is a success, because he used to it. Enjoy. I would not mix, show the series alike. If at one time television began to self-regulate and slowly, explaining to viewers, output from the air provocative series as “SWAT”, “Landing Forces”, then perhaps we would have stayed out of TV series “Cop Wars”. In my opinion, “Cop Wars” is not such a terrible threat to information security. The idea is that one person working at the police station, a lone hero, fighting against a corrupt system of Russian prosecutors, corrupt judges, corrupt security officers, corrupt government. In the view of the educated intelligent viewer is anti-Russian, antirezhimny series. But not all intellectuals, not everyone sees the hidden subtext. Unfortunately, this is all in the context of information warfare Russia. They enjoyed success? Enjoy. Need to ban them? Need. We lose something? Yes, lose. Advantages will be more than the minuses? More.
– There will be no mass protests if all these TV shows instantly disappear from TV screens?
– I think that will not happen. In the life of Ukrainians series is not the most important. We took everything we saw and Turkish soap operas, and Brazil. Riots can be against what is right has a sore points – Salary, utility tariffs. Yes, maybe there will be breaking, but the protest will not be exact. And at the same time need a replacement. Now the first steps – appears Ukrainian cinema, movies that begin to look at the wide distribution, “Nezlamna” pro feat Ukrainian snipers, “Wrangler” about the heroism of the Ukrainian people. We went to the first series of the TV series “The Guard,” which channel “1 + 1″ made together with the channel TVPolonia: co-production, co-financing. The story of the heroes of the day – on the background of the love story unfolds heroism guys from the National Guard. If you will increase the number of Ukrainian TV series – is a plus. Recently I came to Odessa Film Studio, is also a good idea: realizing that they have no money in sufficient quantities, they went to the owners of the Odessa wineries and say, and let us show love story against the backdrop of the formation of the wine industry Odesa region. That is, we will show how to develop the wine industry as a small vineyard plantations and obtained some sort of love story. Winemakers agree to invest money in it, because they are interested, too, is interested Odessa, Odessa Film Studio is interested. If there are such projects with a good idea to appear, why not.
– You mentioned the TV series “The Guard,” there playing Alexei Gorbunov. He was shot in Russia, and now refused to participate in the Russian series, only in Ukrainian.
a problem to find the money to buy foreign films and raise strips torn from the scoop
– Fine. I think that the creation of Ukrainian series opens new Ukrainian star. We bought Russian series or form, together with Russia, and the process was very simple: you need to take some kind of star, to come up with simple plot, apply it to bytovuhu Ukrainian-Russian life: in kitchens all drink, kitchens are conversations bribe employees traffic police, workers ZhEKov, solve problems, “you – to me, I – you.” And the trick is to be a star some that it went. If the series will be created with the Ukrainian Ukrainian actors – unknown today, unfortunately, because the seats were occupied by Russian actors – will appear Ukrainian star. Stars created a good game and the number of hits. Therefore, I see more pluses than minuses, the law banning Russian series for the development of Ukrainian.
