Abstract

The article analyzes the screenplays by V. V. Mayakovsky as multimodal narratives that combine the models of feature films, documentaries and animation. Using the scripts for Farewell to the Fireplace, The Heart of Cinema, Benz No. 22 and others as the case studies, the interactions between the modes of transmitting a story line are revealed, highlighting Mayakovsky’s plan of the production as a complex synthesis of several cinematic strategies.
