The director was attracted by her first work, "The Woodpecker Doesn't Have a Headache." Thanks to Dinara Kuldashevna, Olga Mashnaya, Elena Tsyplakova, Marina Levtova, Valery Priemykhov came to the cinema.
The beginning of the path to cinema
The biography of the future director began in 1942. The girl was born in the Kyrgyz city of Frunze on October 24. The head of the family died at the front, the mother raised the child alone.
The grandmother played a huge role in the upbringing of her granddaughter. She taught Dinara how to find a common language with people, understanding, communication. The self-sufficient quiet girl changed dramatically in the company of her peers. She quickly organized interesting classes.
So, in the house, she created a library where new books could be obtained only after retelling the old ones. Asanova loved to play football with the boys, organize a school where she was a teacher, and drew posters for the local theater with friends.
By the end of school, it was decided that education should be obtained in the field of the film industry. Mom dreamed that her daughter would connect her life with textile production, but Dinara herself went to the Kirghizfilm film studio. The girl has mastered a lot of professions there.
She started by managing the props. At the time of the shooting of the film "Heat" by Larisa Shepitko, Asanova worked as an assistant director. In 1960, Dinara became an actress. In the film "Girl of the Tien Shan" her oriental type, youth, and diminutiveness turned out to be very useful.
Filmmaking
In the film history after the institute, Altynai returns to his native collective farm in the Tien Shan. She is going to marry her beloved Asaka. Suddenly, the girl is elected chairman. Contrary to established traditions, she successfully conducts business, gaining universal respect. Only the groom's father is dissatisfied, who dreamed of the high position of his son. Wanting to harm Altynay, Ashirbai conceived something unkind. However, his son dies from the intrigues of his father.
In the image of Anara, the performer appeared in the film "Everyone Has Their Own Way"; she was a visitor to the coastal cafe in the film "The Wife Gone". The family drama shows the spouses' ideal life at first. The main character Klyuev has everything. However, unexpectedly, his wife leaves him, leaving her son.
A multi-talented employee was sent to study at VGIK. Dinara firmly decided to study at this university. The girl entered the directing department. After several unsuccessful attempts, the applicant managed to become a student in the workshop of Romm and Stolpner. The course turned out to be predominantly male. In the company of confident fellow students, Asanova did not feel very comfortable. But everyone who began to communicate with her soon understood that such an interesting person was hiding behind external shyness and silence.
After completing her studies, Dinara moved to Leningrad. In 1970 the first independent work was filmed. The short film "Rudolfio" was created based on the work of the same name by Rasputin about the difficult relationship between a teenager and an adult man. The main character was brilliantly played by Yuri Vizbor. In the debut film, the theme of the personal development of a teenage girl was very subtly and unconventionally revealed. Asanova also acted as a screenwriter.
Family and vocation
Over the next several years, the director did not film. During the period of forced downtime, Dinara established her personal life. She and the graphic artist Nikolai Yudin became husband and wife. A child, the son of Anwar, appeared in the family at the beginning of autumn 1971.
Often the son in his films "Useless", "Key without the right to transfer" was filmed by his mother. So, in the television project "What would you choose" the boy starred in the role of Volodya. According to the plot, the third-grade friends live in Leningrad in an old house. Students in the same class try to understand teachers and parents.
Asanova was carried away by writing fairy tales, parables, poems. A grown-up child very willingly helped in her literary work.
Dinara's first full-length work was published in 1974. In the film "The Woodpecker Doesn't Have a Headache", the filmmaker told the story of a boy in love with jazz, about his growing up. There are no complex and difficult to understand reflections on the topic of proper upbringing in the film. The film focuses on the question of finding oneself, on first love, inner loneliness.
Last years
In 1976, Asanova created her most famous project "Key without the right to transfer". In the story, a young teacher is trying to introduce a free teaching methodology. Alternately, the tape tells about her search for new solutions, then about the students who open or do not want to open their souls to adults. There are a lot of improvisations in the project, and the roles turned into a demonstration of the twists and turns of the fate of the performers themselves.
The brilliant tape turned out to be not only unusual, but also surprisingly sincere. It was appreciated by both critics and viewers. The film was awarded the Lenin Komsomol Prize. The next work, the pessimistic picture "Trouble", shows an unpleasant story about the degradation of a heavy drinker.
The poignant story of 1983 "Boys" became a real director's triumph. The film tells the story of a camp for difficult teenagers.
Children with difficult fates were filmed in the project. The truthful and strikingly sincere film received the State Prize. In 1984, the film "Children of Strife" was shot.
The film "Stranger" became the last project of the director. The painting remained unfinished. Cinematographer Dinara Kuldashevna Asanova passed away in 1985, on April 4. Many programs are dedicated to her memory, as well as the film "Temptation".
