The article delves into the intricacies of integrating poetic texts into the discourse of au­thorial cinema. It begins by examining the multifaceted interaction between cinema and poet­ry within contemporary artistic culture, framing author cinematography through the lens of the poetic concept. Intermediality and interdiscursivity are explored as intrinsic properties of cinema, serving as tools for shaping the unique style and aesthetics of filmmakers. Two films, “Stalker” by Andrei Tarkovsky and “Ugly Swans” by Konstantin Lopushansky, are selected as primary sources for analysis due to their continuity and innovative qualities. The research employs a comprehensive methodology, including parameterization of linguistic creativity, corpus annotation, and conceptual analysis of verbal and non-verbal elements that contribute to the films’ poetics. Data processing techniques are then applied to interpret the findings. The study uncovers both similarities and differences in the approaches of the two filmmakers to incorporating poetic material into their works. It concludes that the integration of poetic texts into films serves as a mechanism for eliciting a unique psycho-emotional response from viewers, facilitating their engagement with the filmmaker’s ideological concepts.

The article explores the category of interdiscursivity from a perspective of its realization in films. As a point of departure, the historical ties of the avant-garde and cinema are ana­lyzed in terms of interdiscursivity. Literary and artistic works of the representatives of the Russian avant-garde are characterized by a number of innovations that are relevant for the understanding of the interdiscursivity in cinematography as art. The established avant-garde foundations of interdiscursivity make it possible to define it as a linguocreative appropriation of discourses and to elaborate a methodology of its study in films. The film “Stalker” is select­ed as an object of research due to the fact that Andrey Tarkovsky’s innovative cinematic ap­proach makes his works akin to the approaches of art innovators of the avant-garde epoch. The specificity of the interdiscursivity of “Stalker” is determined both by a significant degree of transformation of its literary basis and by a varied appropriation of certain types of discourse in the process of making a film as an original artistic-aesthetic object. Elements of different types of discourse act as linguistic and creative means that influence the heuristic potential of the verbal system of a film.
