Descrizione World Socialist Cinema
"World Socialist Cinema narrates a film history beyond received canons, explicitly decentering and dewesternizing the way that we approach cinema's past. Masha Salazkina's scholarship is breathtaking, using hitherto unexplored archives and primary sources to complicate what we understand by terms like 'world cinema, ' 'global cinema, ' or 'cinemas of solidarity.' I know of nothing comparable."--Peter Limbrick, author of Arab Modernism as World Cinema: The Films of Moumen Smihi "Through the prism of the Tashkent Film Festival, this extraordinary study offers a kaleidoscopic view of what Salazkina terms 'world socialist cinema.' Deftly tessellating a dazzling array of institutions, films, languages, and geopolitical, formal, and theoretical questions, World Socialist Cinema is a field-changing book, and a model for future scholarship."--Alice Lovejoy, author of Army Film and the Avant Garde: Cinema and Experiment in the Czechoslovak Military
