Investigates the recent expansion in Russian documentary film and its relationship to politics, the media industries, and the public sphere.
Over the last three decades, Russian filmmakers and audiences have engaged with documentary cinema with an intensity unseen since the 1920s, when Soviet documentarians helped pioneer the mode. What started as a trickle of artistically minded films in the 1990s, expanded in the 2000s to include a broad range of works, chief among them films seeking to re-evaluate the country's past and take stock of its present. This efflorescence went hand in hand with the creation of new institutions-film schools, festivals, and online platforms. The rise of YouTube, in particular, helped propel documentary into the cultural mainstream.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 and the Kremlin's subsequent crackdown on independent media put an end to all this. The New Russian Documentary thus seeks to introduce readers to the key figures, institutions, and practices involved in this vibrant, if ultimately doomed, oppositionary movement.
