VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF HISTORICAL SPACE IN UKRAINIAN FEATURE FILMS (2000-2020)

Abstract

The article's goal is to characterize the techniques of constructing space in prominent examples of Ukrainian feature films from the first decades of the 21 st century.
Results. The article states that the visual representation of historical space in Ukrainian feature films (2000-2020) is realized in four main forms: heroic, event-based, historical revision, and historical panorama. Each of these forms has its own characteristics and uses specific visualization techniques.
The article reveals that cinematographic techniques for constructing space can be divided into two groups: techniques of artistic and emotional impact and techniques of direct appeal.
The article reveals that the perception of the screen historical space by the viewer depends on the interaction of the physical space of cinema as a work of art and the imaginary space of the historical narrative.
Research methodology is based on the analysis of visual techniques for constructing space in Ukrainian feature films, the study of theoretical works on film studies and historiography, as well as taking into account the peculiarities of the perception of historical cinema by the audience.
Scientific novelty is related to a comprehensive study of the visual representation of historical space in Ukrainian feature films. It consists of a detailed analysis of various forms of visualization, identification of specific cinematographic techniques, and the study of the peculiarities of the perception of historical cinema by viewers.
The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the fact that they expand the understanding of the visual language of Ukrainian historical cinema, allow for a deeper understanding of its specifics, and provide a basis for further research in this field.
