The Contemporary Russian Cinema Reader : 2005-2016, Hardback Book

The Contemporary Russian Cinema Reader : 2005-2016 Hardback

Edited by Rimgaila Salys

Part of the Film and Media Studies series

Hardback

Description

The first fifteen years of the twenty-first century have been an exciting transitional period in Russian cinema, as the industry recovered from the crises of the late 1990s and again stepped onto the global stage.

During these years four generations, from the late Soviet directors through post-Soviet and New Russian filmmakers to the Russian millennials, have worked in varying visual styles and with diverse narrative strategies, while searching for a new cinematic language.

Financing and distribution models have evolved, along with conservative politics driving Ministry of Culture regulation.

This reader is intended both for contemporary Russian cinema courses and for modern Russian culture courses that emphasize film.

It does not attempt to establish a canon for the period but seeks to provide undergraduate students with an introduction to significant Russian films released between 2005 and 2016 that are also available with English subtitles.

The twenty-one essays on individual films provide background information on directors’ careers, detailed analyses of selected films, along with suggested further readings both in English and Russian.
