ВЕРА ИНБЕР КАК КИНОСЦЕНАРИСТ: ЖАНРЫ КАТАСТРОФИЧЕСКОГО ПРОГРЕССА

The article examines the script of the film "The Secret of Kara-Tau" (1932), created by Vera Inber, as summarizing the artistic attitudes of this author and anticipating Inber's literary achievements in the period of the Leningrad blockade. The film is considered in the context of Inber's work, which is characterized by the variation of different genres, melodramatic and sensitive to new trends in art, such as Expressionism and Art Deco. The article substantiates the concepts of synchronization of affects, sublime experience, and catastrophic experience in relation to Inber's work, with reference to contemporary studies of the impact of the siege of Leningrad on Russian culture. A number of clues are found in her prose to reconstruct her film ideas, such as Gorky's play At the Bottom, Chaplin's film "The Gold Rush", the activities of André Citroën, and others. It is proved that Inber formed her own concept of denouement, in which the important thing is not the turning point of events, but the special attention that synchronizes affects in the experience of common fate, in contrast to the dis-synchronization of affects when combining different genre strategies in one work.
