Kulturfilms from the Far North to Central Asia (KINO: The Russian and Soviet Cinema Series)
by Oksana Sarkisova

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 ..."

Hardcover, 320 Pages, Published 2009 by Bloomsbury Academic
ISBN-13: 978-1-84520-214-9, ISBN: 1-84520-214-7

"Film emerged in pre-Revolutionary Russia to become the 'most important of all arts' for the new Bolshevik regime and its propaganda machine. The 1920s saw a flowering of film experimentation, notably with the work of Eisenstein, and a huge growth in the audience for film, which continued into the 1930s with the rise of musicals. The films of the Second World War and Cold War periods reflected a return to political concerns in their repr ..."

As elsewhere in the world, these protests had unlikely origins, in Russia’s case spearheaded by the 'creative class'. This book examines the protest movements in Russia. It discusses the artistic traditions from which the movements arose; ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-138-67577-3, ISBN: 1-138-67577-6

"This book, based on extensive original research, examines how far the collapse of the Soviet Union represented a threshold that initiated change or whether there are continuities which gradually reshaped cinema in the new Russia. The book considers a wide range of films and film-makers and explores their attitudes to genre, character and aesthetic style. The individual chapters demonstrate that, whereas genres shifted and characters dev ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-84885-906-7, ISBN: 1-84885-906-6

"Alexander Sokurov's 'Russian Ark' is generally acclaimed as a milestone in cinematography. In this film Sokurov reversed the idea of montage, creating instead the sensation of an uninterrupted flow of time encompassing three centuries of Russia's cultural history through a single, 90-minute take. Yet this film is but one milestone in the work of this versatile director. Since the 1990s, Sokurov's films have had international recognition ..."

To understand the complicated situation that has arisen with respect to these issues in post-Soviet space is impossible without collaboration between political scientists, sociologists, cultural analysts, media studies researchers and media practitioners.

"Neben Literatur und Kunst ist es gerade der Film, in dem die Verschrankung von Stillstand und Dynamik ihren Ausdruck findet, die fur die Kultur des osteuropaischen Raums nach 1945 so kennzeichnend ist. In seinen Bildern lasst der osteuropaische Film diese eigentumliche Zeitstruktur asthetisch erlebbar werden und findet dabei zu jener Poetik der filmischen Zeit-Bilder von toten Zeiten in leeren Raumen, die der franzosische Philosoph Gill ..."

The fourth is Pushkin at school, the thinker and commentator, played by Leonid Filatov. The fifth alludes to the outer appearance of the poet: in tail-coat, with curly hair, small in stature, the Gentleman of the Bedchamber ..."
