There are a lot of different kinds of films: feature films, horror films, thrillers, popular science films, mystery films, documentaries, animated cartoons. Besides, films may be colour or black and white, full-length or short, sound or silent, dubbed in mother tongue.
Some people prefer feature films, others prefer amusing comedies. The life is rather difficult nowadays, and many of us want to relax or laugh. But at same time we want to watch a true – to – life film which describes the life of ordinary people, their feelings and problems. Such films move us deeply, they arouse the feeling of sympathy or hatred for the heroes. As a rule such films leave a deep and lasting impression upon a person. Educational films are useful mainly for school children and students. But animated cartoons are popular both with children and adults.
Cinema plays an important role in the life of any Society.

Les Kurbas.
Les Kurbas ( 1887 – 1942), one of the founders of modern Ukrainian theatre, was born into a family of actors in the village of Stary Skalat, in Ternopil Region. In 1907 he finished the Ternopil classical gymnasium where instruction was carried out in the Ukrainian language and went on to study philosophy at Vienna and Lviv Universities. He began his carrier as an actor with the amateur theatre, then joined the travelling troup which belonged to the Theatrical Society " Ruska Besida".
In 1915 he organized the Ternopil Theatrical Evenings which became the first stationary theatre in the Western Ukraine. A year later he accepted the invitation of Mikola Sadovsky, a prominent Ukrainian actor and stage director, and went to Kyiv where he joined the Ukrainian stationary theatre.
As a stage director of the Ukrainian Drama Theatre named after Taras Shevchenko in Kharkiv ( 1920) and leader of the Actors Association " Berezil" (1922), People`s Artist of the Ukrainian SSR, Les Kurbas, carried out many successful theatrical productions based on plays by Ukrainian, Russian and foreign playwrights. He worked in the movies, too.
In 1922, in Kyiv, Les Kurbas founded the " Berezil" Arts` Association. There the stage director confirmed his creative quest, he used to find new works for staging, in particular, those by Mikola Kulish and Ivan Mykytenko, and new forms of expressing them. He brought up a brilliant galaxy of actors and stage directors: Amvrosiy Buchma, Natalia Uzhviy, Marian Krushelnitski, and others.
It is on the fundamentals of Kurbas` theatrical aesthetic that modern Ukrainian theatre rests today.
Les Kurbas fell a victim of Stalin`s repressions. He was exiled to Solovki islands where he died.
According to the decision of UNESCO a century of Les Kurbas` birth, a great figure in Ukrainian theatre, was marked in 1987. The memorial museum of Les Kurbas was opened in his birthplace, the village Stary Skalat. The exhibits of the museum testify to how much attention he paid to the theatrical art in Ukraine. The cause to which Kurbas dedicated his life has many worthy followers.
