Annotation The article is devoted to the current state and prospects of cooperation between the BRICS countries in the field of cinema. The forms of cooperation are presented through the prism of the formed experience, the architecture of the modern system of international relations, the processes of globalization, the actual search for new ways to improve the development strategy. Today, the search for new ways to improve the development strategy and strengthen the overall potential of “soft power”is extremely important for the BRICS members. The first meeting of the BRICS Ministers of Culture, held in June 2015 in Moscow and the draft agreement on cooperation in the field of culture adopted at it, are considered as a starting point for actions on cooperation in cinematography in the aspect of transmitting universal and national values to the world community through the art of cinema. During the meeting, the organization outlined the most promising trajectories of cooperation between the countries, and cooperation in the field of cinema was highlighted as one of the most promising areas. The research focus of this article is to analyze the external pressure factors that encourage BRICS participants to cooperate in the field of cinema, to examine in detail the experience of countries in organizing media platforms for showing films, as well as to predict the prospects for cooperation between the BRICS countries in the field of film production. From the perspective of prospects, the article analyzes such forms of partnership as the formation of the film market, the development of the film business, the creation of professional personnel exchange programs, a joint repository of media materials, international agencies and foundations, holding film festivals, discussions, symposiums, etc. One of the promising areas for developing cooperation between the BRICS countries in the field of cinema is the creation of a single database of actors. Such a project can significantly facilitate the search for the necessary types of directors from the BRICS countries. The participants confirmed their readiness to strengthen and expand cooperation within the framework of BRICS. For this purpose, a BRICS Working Group on Culture will be established, whose members will annually exchange information on multilateral cultural cooperation, as well as inform each other about upcoming large-scale events that will be held in their countries
