    "May Russian cinema always be so powerful and interesting!" "May you always be happy!"

    Some think that "I would that..." is archaic. Oh well. It's comprehensible to me anyway.

    Можно сказать?:
    Да будет так сильно и интересно российское кино навсегда!
    Да будет Вам счастье навсегда!

    Жизнеутверждающее пафосное "Да будет" имеет более ограниченное применение. Это можно воскликнуть после какого-то героического поступка или с трибуны.
    Да будет свет! (сказал электромонтёр)
    Да будет жизнь!
    "Да будет вера твоя крепка!"
    (ц.)

    Сделайте так и будет вам счастье!

    Пусть всегда будет солнце!
    Пусть всегда будет мама! ...

    Seraph, thanks for this link. It was iteresting for me. I think your variant "I would that Russian cinema always be powerful and interesting" is better for me for the time being.
    14Russian, as I read about "I wish..." in my case it will be understand like I want this but, unfortunatelly, it doesn't possible. Maybe I'm wrong, I'll learn this question more. Anyway thank you all
