Screening Soviet Nationalities
Kulturfilms from the Far North to Central Asia (KINO: The Russian and Soviet Cinema Series)
by Oksana Sarkisova
Hardcover, 304 Pages, Published 2016 by I.B.Tauris
ISBN-13: 978-1-78453-573-5, ISBN: 1-78453-573-7

"Filmmakers in the early decades of the Soviet Union sought to create a cinematic map of the new state by portraying its land and peoples on screen. These films created blueprints of the Soviet domain’s scenic, cultural, and ethnographic perimeters and brought together – in many ways – disparate nations under one umbrella. Categorised as kulturfilms, they served as experimental grounds for developing the cinematic formulae of a multiethn ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-317-19470-5, ISBN: 1-317-19470-5

"This version of the trickster would return in Georgii Daneliia's tricksters: his Afonia (Leonid Kuravlev), in the eponymous film (1973), represents a proletarian trickster as an abusive anti-intelligentsia manipulator with a lost sense of the purpose of life; and Autumn Marathon (Osennii marafon, 1979), introduces the janitor Vasilii (Evgenii Leonov), who feels entitled to interfere into the life of the intelligentsia and in this c ..."

"As the Swiss theatre director and journalist Milo Rau, founder of the International Institute of Political Murder (IIPM), has astutely pointed out, there is a fundamental difference between the dissidence of the Cold War era and today's dissent, and it is dangerous to confuse the two. The Western idea of dissidence is rooted in cases such as those of Andrei Sakharov and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, which is a romanticized image; today's ..."

"Released in 2002, Russian Ark drew astonished praise for its technique: shot with a Steadicam  in one ninety-six-minute take, it presented a dazzling whirl of movement as it followed the Marquis de Custine as he wandered through the vast Winter Palace in St. Petersburg—and through three hundred years of Russian history.             This companion to Russian Ark addresses all key aspects of the film, beginning with a comprehensive synops ..."

"Svetlana Proskurina identified Sokurov as the key to “the resurrection, or return ... of the legendary Lenfilm of the twenties” (Proskurina 1990, 24), though many of his films were no more than a rumor for the Russian public, as the film distribution system collapsed. As early as 1990 Tat'iana Moskvina complained about the disjuncture between Sokurov's subject matter and visual style, a disjuncture she found typical of the Leningra ..."
