It consists of excerpts from English language criticism and translations of excerpts of Russian-language criticism, as well as commissioned essays on thirty subtitled films widely taught in American and British courses on Russian film and culture. The arrangement will be chronological, from Sten’ka Razin through How I Ended This Summer, with a general introduction to each period outlining its filmic and historical significance for a general audience. Essays will be accompanied by suggestions for further reading. This reader will be useful both for film studies specialists and for Slavists who wish to broaden their Russian studies curriculum by including film courses or cinematic material in culture courses.
