Present pandemics made all issues related to regulating the life of migrants with different mindset, language, culture as well as religious affiliation in megapolis utterly topical under conditions of closure of most of businesses and air traffic disruption. As the paper argues apart from new legislative measures, representations of the migrant’s image (the Other) and ethics of communication with migrant (the Other) in mass conscience previously emerged and built up in culture and most notably brought about by means on cinematic art, both documentary (including mass-media video production) and fiction film are of vital importance in avoiding the negative scenario. Representation of the migrant`s image and ethno-confessional conflicts is exemplified by the film “Ayka” by S. Dvortsevoy, TV-series “Here at our backyard” (1–2 seasons) by O. Muzaleva, “Salam, Mascow” by P. Bardin, “Zuleykha opens her eyes” by E. Anashkin, media project «In the cold» by K. Diodorova, documentary journalistic investigation “Piter. Metro. 3.4.17” by E. Zobnina and non-fiction information film “In Moscow in search of a living” (on behalf of MMC).
