- Abstract
The article reveals the theoretical approaches of the Soviet and Russian film critic and screenwriter, Prof. Dr. S.I. Freilich (1920–2005), which are reflected in his scientific articles published in the Cinema Art journal. Professional activity of S.I. Freilich was associated with the analysis of the problems of the history of cinematography, the methodology of film studies, the theory and history of cinema. He devoted his main theoretical works on cinematographic issues mainly to professional issues of film dramaturgy. As a result of the content analysis of the main theoretical articles of the film critic Semyon Freilich, published in the Cinema Art journal, we came to the following conclusions: - the author devoted his main theoretical works mainly to professional issues of film writing and film criticism, while most of his publications were written in line with the ideological and political dogmas of a particular Soviet historical period; - in many of his theoretical articles of different years, S.I. Freilich turns to the analysis of the cinematic heritage of S. Eisenstein; - the film critic considered the improvement of the theory of style to be a task of paramount importance for the further development of screenwriting and film art in general, therefore he repeatedly addressed this problem in his theoretical articles. - the theoretical articles of the author contain cinematic terms, are not devoid of expressive artistic imagery; the stated theoretical concepts are confirmed by clear logic and consistent argumentation based on primary sources; the author's position and the author's attitude to the subject of research are clearly seen in the general content and generalizing conclusions; in structural terms, his articles are usually in a scientific style, have a clear structure and a significant amount.
