Browse Hierarchy FLM6071: Contemporary Post- Soviet Documentary

This module invites students to analyse and compare recent documentary films from countries who were part of the Soviet Union until 1991. Topics include memory and reflection on the Soviet legacy and enduring Russian influence, migration and exile, revolution and conflict. Students will place the films in the context of the possibilities of the documentary form and the historical, social and political issues the films address, drawing on theoretical perspectives from memory studies, postcolonial theory and gender.
