Investigating the results of the hermeneutic analysis of the film Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), the author concludes that: this media text represented of the historical, ideological political and sociocultural context of the edge of the 20th century. The depth of reflection of the problems of women's education is closely connected with the political and socio-cultural features of the historical era. Media text realistically conveys the atmosphere of the past; in the plot line the pedagogical system is reflected, the theoretical basis of which was the traditional Victorian values (family, love, religion, patriotism, sense of duty, loyalty, modesty, generosity, generosity of the soul, etc.); The plot, densely immersed in the educational process, largely relates to the themes of growing up and is stripped of bright episodes of a sexual nature and liberated behavior; the main emphasis is placed on moral education, on the fact that cultural development was clearly conditioned by morals, which to some extent oppressed the rights of women as a free person; the film metaphorically reflected the social and moral struggle (for personal happiness, love, truth, the ability to determine life patterns independently, to follow one's wishes, freely express their thoughts, etc.); in this context, teachers are represented by strict, scrupulous in the line of conduct and observance of the framework of decency by female images.
