Decolonising the (Post-)Soviet Screen

Description

This edited volume explores how historical narratives and cultural identities have been constructed and understood through film, questioning established perceptions and highlighting the diversity within Soviet cinema. It sheds light on the underlying diversity that exists beyond the region’s colonial frameworks, providing a richer representation of its cinematic heritage. This vantage point not only encourages an exploration of varied cinematic expressions but also decentres and challenges the traces of the historical empire in the present.
