Today, everyone has the opportunity to make a film. Provided that he convinces the officials who allocate financial resources of the success of his project. I must say that many professionals focus the audience's attention on external effects, vivid pictures and piquant nuances. Yes, this approach often brings the ordered result. According to this scheme, one-day pictures are shot. Alexey Sidorov adheres to a different concept. Cinema is not only a spectacle. An important component of cinematography is the educational function.
Custom start
Children born in places far from big cities are much less likely to make a successful career in life. Yes, the so-called social elevators continue to operate, but they are moving up very slowly. And on this route, young people are awaited by traps and ambushes. Not everyone has enough strength, education, perseverance and just money. The routine of daily life breaks to forge the strongest characters. The biography of Alexei Sidorov is a positive example that boys can look up to for many years to come. On the life path of this person, various situations developed. And he found an opportunity to overcome them.
The famous Russian screenwriter Alexei Sidorov was born on August 22, 1968 in the city of Severodvinsk. The boy's parents worked for a united ship repair company. Alexey did not study badly at school. I read a lot. He constantly visited the local library. He knew how to get along with the guys on the street. The traditions of the seaside town were harsh. The timid and physically weak here could be offended by any impudent kid. The future famous director of cult paintings not only watched the surrounding life from the library window, but also took an active part in it. Sidorov was not a bully, but the "street people" respected him.
Having received a certificate of maturity, Alexey leaves for Petrozavodsk and enters the historical and philological department of the university. It should be emphasized that already in his school years he wrote poems, stories, scripts, notes to the local newspaper. After completing his studies at the university, the certified philologist tried to teach at the school, but such work did not attract him at all. In addition to this, family problems arose, and Sidorov moved to Moscow. Gradually acquires useful acquaintances and connections. The dashing 90s were already thundering in the yard, and the young man watched the events taking place in the capital with his own eyes.
Outsiders simply do not know that many different specialists are employed in filmmaking. Among them there are highly qualified personnel and laborers. At first, Alexei had to do exactly "black" work. Of course, there was also a rational component in this situation. In a short time, he became a professional in this field. In parallel with his work activity, he studied at the higher scriptwriting and directing courses, and received a specialized education. A few months later, in 2000, Sidorov participated in the creation of the script for the film "Knightly Romance".
Russian Hollywood
Real fame came to Alexei Sidorov after the release of the series "Brigade". He has been working on the script for over two years. Experts and analysts are well aware that a decent picture can only be made using a high-quality scenario. Sidorov and the director discussed the concept of the film for a long time. If you follow Hollywood patterns, then you need to "make" an action movie with entertaining episodes and thriller elements. But in domestic films, even comedy ones, the meaning of the action, some edification, is always visible. It is very important to find a cast.
The initial stage dragged on for almost a year. In this process, it is difficult to separate true creativity from quality craftsmanship. It is believed that delving into such subtleties is not worth it. According to discerning analysts, the appearance of the Brigade in Russian cinema was a landmark event. The film received the prestigious TEFI and Golden Eagle awards. The audience got a model for comparison, and the professionals for orientation and imitation. I must say that the screenwriter Sidorov did not fall ill with the "star" disease. He took note of all the comments and compliments and made the corresponding "notches" in his memory.
The scriptwriter and director Alexei Sidorov shot the next tape in 2015. In terms of genre, it can be classified as a "sports thriller", with the telling name "Shadowboxing". Today we can say that in this picture the approaches and decisions of American specialists are frankly visible. At the same time, the meaning of the events taking place on the screen is imbued with the Russian spirit. Observing the actions and character of the protagonist, the audience will recognize their children who live somewhere nearby, maybe on the next street. It will not be superfluous to say that while working on this film, Sidorov demonstrated a deep knowledge of human psychology.
This moment
In 2018, Alexey Sidorov presented his next film, T-34, to the audience and critics. The first thing I want to say is a significant contribution to the patriotic education of the younger generation. The fact that the script was written based on real events is stated in each review. And it is right. As they say in the East, the repetition of the truth does not change its value. It is important to note that the screenwriter and director of Sidorov has been working with the same people for many years. Not surprising, he knows how to unite the team and lead it to the intended goal.
Very little is known about the director's personal life. In his youth, he married a girl named Larissa. They lived next door in the city of Severodvinsk. A child was born in a young family. It would seem that they live and live. However, the husband and wife were forced to leave for trivial reasons. This is a sad and sometimes tragic story that Alexei does not like to remember.
