Pre-Event Press Release PRESS RELEASE FILMS ANNOUNCED FOR KINO KLASSIKA SEASON YOUTH ON THE MARCH! THE RISE OF THE SOVIET NEW WAVE Cult directors Otar Iosseliani and Rachid Naugmanov will open and close the Youth on the March! Season at Regent St Cinema. Internationally acclaimed film critic and journalist Konstantin Shavlovsky will curate. Regent Street Cinema II 2nd May – 27 June Acclaimed film curator and cinema critic Konstantin Shavlovsky will curate a 9 film season of classic films of the Soviet New Wave. The films will be screened on original formats or DCPs. They will be introduced by leading directors, film critics and commentators, providing a thrilling insight into the provocative generation of directors who used perestroika to engage with the outside world and create a punk protest cinema that still has resonance today. Rashid Naugmanov, Kira Muratova and Otar Iosseliani are among the latest directors to confirm their involvement in ‘Youth on the March! The rise of the Soviet New Wave’. This film season will be London’s first ever attempt to trace the antecedents of East European punk at London’s most iconic repertory cinema, the Regent St Cinema on Regent St. Otar Iosseliani will open the film season in person with a screening of his Cannes prize winning classic film, ‘Falling Leaves’ on Wednesday 2nd May. He is Georgia’s most celebrated film director, a key member of the Soviet Wave and prize winner of films at Berlin, Venice and Cannes Film Festivals. The screening of ‘Falling Leaves’ will be a collaboration with the Georgian London Film Festival and will be followed by a Georgian banquet with some of Georgia’s finest chefs at Terriors, Trafalgar Square on 2nd May. Rashid Naugmanov is widely seen as the leading director in Kazakhstan’s 1980s New Wave, with Needle winning prizes in Berlin, Toronto and Sundance. The film starred Victor Tsoi, the Soviet Union’s most iconic rock star, who died in a plane crash in 1990. Naugmanov will introduce the film in person on Wednesday 20 June. Kira Muratova is one of the world’s leading female filmmakers. Her iconoclastic filmmaking style means her films have been repeatedly banned or censored. Kino Klassika is proud to present this rare opportunity to see Muratova’s early masterpiece, Long Goodbye, which was banned as soon as it was released. One of the great film rediscoveries of the perestroika period of the 1980s, this film is long overdue a London screening. The season will take place at Regent St cinema, which is not only London’s oldest cinema hall but has a firm commitment to repertory programming and ambitious world cinema. www.kinoklassikafoundation.org/project/youth For more information, images, interviews or press tickets, please contact Florence at [email protected] CURATOR - Konstantin Shavlovsky Konstantin is Film Editor of the weekly publication, Kommersant Weekend.

  • 0 the Kazakh New Wave: Overcoming Socialist
    0 THE KAZAKH NEW WAVE: OVERCOMING SOCIALIST REALISM IN THE AGE OF NEW WAVES Danel Akhmetova HST499 – History Capstone May 5, 2020 1 Introduction In 1988, Murat Auezov, the editor-in-chief at Kazakhfilm national film studio proposed its structural reformation.1 From now on, the studio was to be divided into two creative associations, Miras (“heritage”) and Alem (“world”, “universe”), that in the next few years would become home to a number of key films of the decade, later collectively known as the Kazakh New Wave.2 The former division devoted its attention to the questions of Kazakh national culture through historical, ethnographic, and folkloric films, while the latter demonstrated strong commitment to their official motto of “knowledge of the world in its motion” and encouraged production of films of modern, cosmopolitan, and all-round character.3 Even though the Alem and Miras associations had gradually disappeared, the emergence of these divisions at Kazakhfilm in the second half of the 1980s reveals a lasting dilemma about priorities in the Kazakh cinema industry.4 What themes should the Kazakh filmmakers tackle – national or universal ones? The Kazakh New Wave films that were made at those two studios were neither entirely national nor completely cosmopolitan. Murat Auezov understood the impossibility of resolving this dilemma by the emerging directors of the Kazakh New Wave. He believed that the most essential prerequisite for the success of contemporary local filmmaking was a combination of both national and transnational factors.

Chapter 1 Introduction "Musical Innovation is full of danger to the whole state, and ought to be prohibited. When modes of music change, the fundamental laws of the state always change with them.” Plato "It is through music that the powerful myth of Russia’s national character can best be understood. Russian art and music, like Russia itself, has always been tinged or tainted with an air of alterity – sensed, exploited, bemoaned, reveled in, traded on, and defended against both from within; and from without.” Richard Taruskin This thesis will provide unique analysis and evaluation that will seek to demonstrate that contemporary Russian music viewed in a political context is important not only for what it is and what it can do, but also for what it can be used to do.

    AATSEEL 2020 Presentation Abstracts FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2020 1-1 Stream 1A: Tolstoy as Reader (I): Tolstoy Reading Literature, Myth and Religion Brian Kim, University of Pennsylvania Recommending Reading: Great Books According to Tolstoy In 1890, in response to Sir John Lubbock’s recently published list of one hundred books deemed “best worth reading,” Leo Tolstoy was approached by the publisher M. M. Lederle, who was interested in printing Tolstoy’s own recommendations in this regard. Tolstoy’s sin- gle and abortive attempt at compiling such a list in response contained fewer than 50 titles, organized according to the period of one’s life when they ought to be read and the degree of impression each had made on him personally. Ranging from religious texts and classical epics to contemporary philosophy and Russian literature, Tolstoy’s unpublished list is unsurprisingly characterized by an extraordinary breadth and a focus on writings conducive to the development of moral and spiritual education that was his main preoccupation in the latter period of his life. Though it did not become part of his public recommendations for reading (as, e.g., the aphorisms he later gathered in Krug chteniia), Tolstoy’s list was reflec- tive of a contemporaneous response to the rapid growth of literacy in late nineteenth-century Russia that was concerned with directing the reading consumption of a newly literate public toward texts of greater value than the light fiction so commonly found among booksellers’ wares. This paper examines Tolstoy’s recommendations in light of his experiences as a reader, educator, and public figure, and places his list in dialogue with conversations about literacy education in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century.

This process is, as a rule, complicated in diverse countries, such as Kazakhstan. As a post-Soviet nation, it is still not sure how to define itself in the country and in the outside world. The crisis of the Kazakh identity is compromised by the manifold ethnic groups and cultures, juxtaposed by the clashes of Kazakh and Russian languages and different identities. In this regard, the role of cinema in the need for cultural certainty and the systematisation of national identity cannot be underestimated.
