Utopijski aspekti sovjetskih filmova - Screenings | Art-kino Croatia

Olga Papash - Nacionalni Centar Oleksandr Dovženko, Kijev, Ukrajina

Predavanje se fokusira na pitanje kako se pojam utopije, kao jedan od ključnih elemenata u sovjetskoj kinematografiji uopće, mijenjao kroz tijek povijesti filma u periodu od 1926. – 1991. godine.

Soviet utopia was a project aimed to change not only the social order, but also the human nature itself, creating a New Man. This desire was from the very beginning embodied in Soviet film, which served both the reflection and the engine of the prospective utopian transformations. In my lecture I trace the rise and the decline of the film avant-garde of the 1920s, the shift to (post-utopian) social realism, exemplified by Stalinist musical, and the late-Soviet escapist utopian projects.
