Such 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 multiethnic, multinational Soviet identity. Screening Soviet Nationalities examines the non-fictional representations of Soviet borderlands from the Far North to the Northern Caucasus and Central Asia between 1925-1940. Beginning with Dziga Vertov and his vision of the Soviet space as a unified, multinational mosaic, Oksana Sarkisova rediscovers films by Vladimir Erofeev, Vladimir Shneiderov, Alexander Litvinov, Mikhail Slutskii, Amo Bek-Nazarov, Mikhail Kalatozov, Roman Karmen and other filmmakers who helped construct an image of Soviet ethnic diversity and left behind a lasting visual legacy.The book contributes to our understanding of changing ethnographic conventions of representation, looks at studies of diversity despite the homogenising ambitions of the Soviet project, and reexamines methods of blending reality and fiction as part of both ideological and educational agendas. Using a wealth of unexplored archival evidence from the Russian State Documentary Film and Photo Archive (RGAKFD) as well as the Gosfilmofond state film archive, Sarkisova examines constructions of exoticism, backwardness and Soviet-driven modernity through these remarkable and underexplored historical travelogues."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aKINO, the Russian cinema series. 606 $aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects$zSoviet Union 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union 606 $aMotion pictures$zSoviet Union$xHistory$y1925-1953 606 $aNationalism in motion pictures 606 $2Media studies 607 $aSoviet Union$xIn motion pictures 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aNationalism in motion pictures. 676 $a791.430947 700 $aSarkisova$b Oksana$f1974-$0934440 712 02$aBloomsbury (Firm), 801 0$bNLE 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162793103321 996 $aScreening Soviet nationalities$92104305 997 $aUNINA
