On February 22, 2024, the Horliv Institute of Foreign Languages held an open meeting of the scientific seminar "Adaptations of classical literature into the language of cinema", at which the students of the 4th course presented their research on the problem of screen adaptation of a literary text.
The students' performances were immediately preceded by a brief speech by S. A. Komarov, Doctor of Philological Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of World Literature, about the typology of screen adaptation. The main attention in this preface to the analytical presentations of the awardees was given to "new reading" as a manifestation of the most free approaches to film interpretation of a literary work.
The following presentations were made at the scientific seminar:
