The first fifteen years of the twenty-first century have been an
exciting transitional period in Russian cinema, as the industry
recovered from the crises of the late 1990s and again stepped onto
the global stage. During these years four generations, from the
late Soviet directors through post-Soviet and New Russian
filmmakers to the Russian millennials, have worked in varying
visual styles and with diverse narrative strategies, while
searching for a new cinematic language. Financing and distribution
models have evolved, along with conservative politics driving
Ministry of Culture regulation. This reader is intended both for
contemporary Russian cinema courses and for modern Russian culture
courses that emphasize film. It does not attempt to establish a
canon for the period but seeks to provide undergraduate students
with an introduction to significant Russian films released between
2005 and 2016 that are also available with English subtitles. The
twenty-one essays on individual films provide background
information on directors' careers, detailed analyses of selected
films, along with suggested further readings both in English and
Russian.
