Abstract
The article examines the current trends in the development of contemporary Russian cinema amid global challenges and its potential as part of the state cultural policy. The academic novelty of the study lies in its comprehensive analysis of the representation of family relations (the image of the family) through the lens of modern festival cinema. The core of the content focuses on the portrayal of family dynamics and character typologies in recent Russian films. The conclusions identify significant trends and outline key indicators of family representation.
