Abstract

The article examines the phenomenon of authorship in cinematography, its worldview principles, and creative guidelines. The role of cinematography in the process of formation of a coherent spiritual space, reconstruction of national self-awareness is specified. The peculiarities of the reproduction of the national idea in Ukrainian cinema have been revealed. It was found that despite the visual dissimilarity of the films of the artists of the Ukrainian author's film models, they have: ideological and thematic consonance in the reflection of the national idea; maximum closeness of screen images to the depicted; organic reproduction of folk life. The concept of “Ukrainian model of auteur cinema” is substantiated. It is proved that the foundation of the model was the poetic worldview of its representatives –Yu. Illenko, I. Mykolaichuk L. Osyka,                           S. Paradzhanov. It was observed that in the reproduction of the national idea, the named artists: reached the depths of ethnology; mastered the national culture, traditions, customs, and rites of the people; represented a system of artistic images that expanded the boundaries of human feelings, experiences, characters, mental relations, and national psychology; resisted social injustice. It was determined that in the tapes of the specified masters, a system of expressive means of cinema and poetry was used to reproduce the national identity of the hero, his indomitable spirit. It was found that the use of the film camera as a full-fledged participant in the screen action was key in the creation of the language of films of the Ukrainian model of auteur cinema. This contributed to the creation of both poetic on-screen conventionality and life authenticity in the documentary recording of folk customs and everyday life.

It is summarized that in the works of modern Ukrainian directors R. Bondarchuk, V. Vasyanovych, M. Vroda,                             A. Lukich, Yu. Rechynskyi,L. Sanin, M. Slaboshpytskyi,                            I. Strembitskyi, D. Sukholitky-Sobchuk developed traditions of reflection the national idea of exaltation of the national spirit in the Ukrainian model of auteur cinema.
