Being a child of famous parents is quite difficult. Whatever you do, no matter what you make, you are doubly responsible for everything. And, above all, in art. You must admit that there is always more demand from the children of famous actors who have decided to follow in the footsteps of their parents than from their colleagues who came to the world of art on their own. Maria Mironova, Elizaveta Boyarskaya, Maria Mashkova, Victor Dobronravov, Maria Shukshina and many others have already proved the right to proudly bear a famous surname. Several years ago, Ivan Yankovsky joined the list, continuing the family of a talented family. His debut appearance on the screen took place in 2000 in the film “Come see me”. However, the second and today’s last picture with his participation made him popular - a mystical film called “Indigo”.
In a talented family - talented children
On the penultimate October day of 1990, the future actor Ivan Yankovsky was born in the capital of the Soviet Union that still existed at that time. He was born in a family familiar with cinema firsthand. His grandfather - the famous and talented Oleg Yankovsky - was the first to glorify his surname throughout the USSR. The boy’s grandmother - Lyudmila Zorina - Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. Papa Ivan is a popular and talented director and actor Philip Jankowski. The boy’s mom - Oksana Fandera - is no less famous than his father. This stunning actress starred in many films, and her fame is well deserved. In addition to the son, the couple also has a daughter, Lisa, who was born in 1993.
Ivan Yankovsky, whose biography got its origins for its subsequent development in such a talented family, decided not to look for difficult paths and follow in the footsteps of his relatives. This decision did not surprise anyone.
First appearance on screen
Already at the age of ten, Ivan Yankovsky made his first debut on the screen in the film "Come see me." The directors of this masterpiece were the grandfather of a young talent Oleg Yankovsky and Mikhail Agranovich. The plot of the film is as follows. On New Year's Eve, a stranger knocks on the door of an already elderly woman living with a sick mother. This chance encounter turns the world of all heroes and proves that love still exists. Irina Kupchenko and Oleg Yankovsky, who play the main roles in this film, made an amazing creative duet. It is not surprising that their game can be watched in one breath.
The role of the angel in this picture was played by Ivan Yankovsky. The filmography of the ten-year-old boy was replenished with the first record. And critics called this film a good, soft and unobtrusive work, filled with warmth and love. In principle, this picture was an excellent start for the development of the professional career of the young actor of the Yankovsky family - Ivan. And he successfully coped with his, albeit episodic, role.
Trying on the image of an indigo teenager
The year before the end of the Moscow International School of Motion Picture Arts, Ivan Yankovsky appeared on the screen for the second time. It was the year 2008. This time, the young talent got the main role in Roman Prygunov's Indigo. It is noteworthy that with this maestro Ivan is familiar from a very young age. The novel is a close friend of his father. Once they traveled together through the "granite walls" of science.
One fine day, Prygunov brought Ivan the script of the film with the words: "Read it, if you like it, then come to the test." The young man was fascinated by the story of children who are practically no different from their peers. The only thing that sets them apart from the crowd is their amazing abilities. Such children, endowed with superpowers, are called "indigo." That was the name of the film.
The role and plot of a mystical picture
Ivan came to the test, and he was approved for the role of Andrei - a boy who had the opportunity to anticipate events. As the actor himself admits, he was interested in playing a teenager who is endowed with superpower. At the same time, according to the script of the film, the not-so-usual life of indigo children was under constant threat: they were followed by a maniac.
It is noteworthy that in this film there is also a bright romantic line, the participants of which were Anastasia Ritchie and Ivan Yankovsky. The heroine of a girl named Tatyana has the ability to talk with animals.
In addition to young and talented newcomers, the film was attended by Maria Shukshina, Oleg Efremov, Artem Tkachenko, Gosha Kutsenko and others. This picture brought Ivan Yankovsky first love and first fans. It is thanks to this tape that the name of the young man was recognized in the CIS.
Delving into the mastery of acting
Until 2009, Ivan Yankovsky studied at the International Film School named after Nikita Mikhalkov and Rustam Ibragimbekov, choosing the faculty of directing. Then, after graduation, he enters the State Institute of Theater Arts (GITIS), which was previously called the Russian Academy of Theater Arts (RATI). The young man chooses the acting and directing department. After the first role, his views shifted slightly towards participation in films, and not in their productions. As the actor himself notes, at this stage he is more interested in the game, the mastery of the “fitting” process and getting used to the image, the knowledge of the underlying processes of the art of acting. Ivan Yankovsky wants to learn this from the inside, from the perspective of an artist.
At the institute, its curator is the famous Russian director, director and founder of the Theater of theatrical art Theater, Sergei Vasilievich Zhenovach.
New projects: active work
To date, the filmography of the young artist has only two full-fledged paintings. However, Ivan did not become an actor of "one role". Today he is involved in two projects. The first film entitled “Love with an Accent and Without: Once Upon a Time in Armenia” will be released in 2015. Ivan got the main male role. His partner on the set is Anna Chipovskaya.
At the same time, the young man is involved in the filming of the film “Rag Union”, directed by Mikhail Mestetskiy. The release of this tape on the screen, as well as the previous creation, is planned in 2015. Critics are eagerly awaiting the appearance of these films in order to appreciate the talent of the newly made actor.
