Honor of the surname is very trying not to drop and the son of the great artist, Bondarchuk Fedor. The filmography of this rather young artist and director impresses with the number of works, and their quality, confirmed by the high level of spectator popularity, numerous prizes and international recognition.

Study and army

Fyodor Bondarchuk was born in 1967. The creative atmosphere of the family presupposed a desire for art from the very beginning, but for its realization it is necessary to know the real life. After graduating from high school in 1985 and enrolling in the directing faculty of VGIK, the young man goes to serve on an equal footing with other peers. He fulfills his military duty in the city of Krasnoyarsk, and then in the famous Taman Division, in a cavalry regiment. Through "two winters and two springs" the son of the famous director again begins his studies, which he successfully completes in the studio of Yuri Ozerov.

The first film works

The first "Stalingrad" Fyodor Bondarchuk was held at that time (the film was shot by Ozerov), but this was not the first role, it was debut earlier, in Boris Godunov, where he played the role of Prince Fedor. The fatherly rigor with which he collided on the set was a good school for the future director. The role, although small, was complex and difficult to give, and Sergei Bondarchuk's exactingness became for him a model of creative behavior. In the cinema there are no trifles.

VGIK was successfully completed in 1991. During his studies there were other works in which Fedor Bondarchuk took an acting role. Filmography of those years is the course work "Sunny Beach" by fellow student T. Keosayan and very good pictures "Arbiter" and "Demons" (based on the novel by FM Dostoevsky).

Pioneer of national clipmaking art

In the early nineties, the art of creating video clips was in its infancy and provided a wide field for the realization of creative aspirations. The rock and roll composition of the group "The Moral Code" was Bondarchuk Jr.'s first work in this field. The song was called "Goodbye Mom", it was composed by Sergei Mazaev, and the video sequence successfully emphasized its rhythm and high energy fullness. Since 1990, the position of the leading Soviet, and then Russian clipmaker Bondarchuk Fyodor firmly occupied. The filmography of these short film stories with musical accompaniment covers the songs of the most famous domestic artists, including Alla Pugacheva, Vladimir Presnyakov, Boris Grebenshchikov, Christina Orbakaite, Valery Meladze, Philip Kirkorov and many others. The popularity of music was greatly facilitated by the successful direction of the video material, and the award "Ovation", received in 1993, was a deserved reward for work and talent.

Early work

Not knowing the features of acting, it is impossible to become a successful director. Bondarchuk Fyodor adopted this rule from his father. The filmography of the works of the nineties includes the paintings "Angels of Death", "I Love" (benefit of Lyudmila Gurchenko), "Sukachev's middle age crisis", "Eight and a half dollars" directed by G. Constantinople and "Showcase". However, the shooting was intermittent, sometimes long, and most of the time, advertising spots and music clips occupied, there were many orders.

The result of a bold experiment with the modern interpretation of the Idiot by F.M. Dostoevsky became the picture "Down House", in which Fyodor Bondarchuk played the main character, Prince Myshkin. It is possible that the artistic merits of this work to some of the viewers and critics seemed controversial, but creativity is impossible without a certain audacity.

Afghan history about the ninth company

The realities of the Afghan war will for a long time excite the citizens of our country. Its little-known pages evoke constant interest, especially when they are opened by talented artists. The fate of a small military unit that got into a very difficult situation, withstood an unequal battle, carried out the order and won a moral victory, was the theme of the work for which Bondarchuk Fyodor took in 2004. The filmography of previous years did not address such acute topics.

The fact that the picture was a success is objectively evidenced by the extraordinary audience success, the interest of the world cinema community and the recognition of people, to whose share this episode of our history fell and to take part in it directly.

Different themes, different films

Films of Fyodor Bondarchuk, in which he worked as an actor, are distinguished by a diverse theme. These are ordinary everyday stories, such as the melodrama with elements of the comedy "Three Half-Graces" (2006), shot against the backdrop of the southern city, and the romantic picture "About Love" (2010), which raises important moral and ethical issues, and "Two days ", A film in which it is told about the relationship of power with cultural workers in the universal aspect. The detective story of the state councilor also was not without the participation of a talented actor, as well as the wonderful series "The Fall of the Empire", which tells about the last tragic years of old Russia and the hard work of the deceased workers of the tsarist law and order service.

Boris Strugatsky considered that Bondarchuk can be trusted with the screen version of one of the fantastic novels written by him, co-authored with his brother, called "Inhabited Island". Work on the film was a long and difficult, it was released in 2009 and immediately became a topic for discussion.

Its Stalingrad

Military history is the eternal theme of Russian cinema. Fedor Bondarchuk prompted to shoot his own "Stalingrad" social need for works of art that propagate patriotism. And let the film be criticized for the surplus of effects created with the help of computer technology and the improbability of some episodes, but the director tried to make it interesting primarily for young people. The work turned out to be bright, the battle scenes horrify with realism, and the main theme remains the heroism of the people and the army manifested in this terrible battle.
