Welcoming Speech
I am glad to welcome you to the Siberian land! Novosibirsk Akademgorodok is one of the world’s leading centers for the development of science, including in the field of IT technologies. Today, when information, its interpretation and presentation play an increasing role every day, forming public opinion about certain events, your meeting dedicated to cinematography is gaining more importance. Perhaps, to a much greater extent than other types of art, cinema is woven into the fabric of social life, is influenced by it, bears its imprint. The connection between cinema and science has always been very close, and it manifested itself not only in the fact that the creators of the film industry willingly used the latest technologies and technical means created by scientists in their work. At one time, Russian cinema made a great contribution to increasing the prestige of science and shaping its image as the most important social force, largely determining the appearance of the modern world. It is enough to recall the inspiring images of scientists created by Russian cinematographers in such films as “Nine Days of one Year”, “Taming the Fire”, “Choosing a Goal” and many others.

Visualization of the Space of a Provincial Town in Soviet Feature Films of the 1930–1980s: Between the Future and the Past
Based on the analysis of feature films of the Soviet era, the article reconstructs the image of a provincial town in its dynamics. In total, three main images are distinguished, replacing each other and reflecting the ideas of the filmmakers about its place in society and prospects - this is, firstly, a provincial city as a changing space, looking to the future (1930s); secondly, the image of a happy present (1950s); thirdly, the province as a keeper of the past, a symbol of a small homeland, tradition, and cultural roots. The last image was transformed in the era of perestroika, filled with negative connotations, giving the provincial city eschatological features.

The article identifies forms, means and content of representations of the Soviet project of internal colonization in the chronicle-documentary cinema of the USSR of the 1950–1980s. One of such “platforms” for the broadcast of colonial knowledge, ideas and practices was the newsreel “Siberia on the Screen”, which performed not only standard propaganda functions, but also fixed the algorithms of coexistence of the main actors of internal colonization – “A man of power and culture” and “Colonial subalterns”, within whose boundaries the tasks of domination and subordination in relation to territories and people were implemented.

The Сlash of Soviet Propaganda and the Traditional Way of Life in Azerbaijani Cinema of the late 1920s – mid-1930s (Case of I. Orujova’s Roles in “Sevil” and “Almaz”)
The article examines the influence of Soviet propaganda on the cinematography of Azerbaijan in the late 1920s – mid-1930s. By the example of films based on the plays of J. Jabbarli, “Sevil” (1929) by A. Bek-Nazarov and “Almas” (1936) by A.-R. Kuliyev and G. Braginsky. The transformation of the female image is investigated. It is shown that two mythosemantic factors are combined in the appearance of female characters: a heroine struggling with prejudice and a young and attractive mother woman. It is revealed that Azerbaijani films fit into the canon of Stalinist socialist realism and at the same time are closely related to the local national specifics of the region, which contributed to their more effective impact on the audience.

Buryat Buddhism in the Soviet Ethnographic Cinema of the 1920–1930s
The article examines the history of Soviet ethnographic cinema of the 1920s–1930s. The issue of documentary film production at the largest film studios of the country is being investigated, including the implementation of a project to create a series of ethnographic films “Kinoatlass of the USSR”. The visualization of ethnicity (Buryat Buddhism) is shown using the example of V.I. Pudovkin’s film “Descendant of Genghis Khan” (1928). It is revealed that early Soviet films are a valuable documentary source for visual anthropological research: the study of traditional culture, as well as the film representation of the ethnicity of the peoples of the USSR.

“Descendant of Genghis Khan”: Book, Script, Movie
The article continues the author’s series of publications devoted to the history of creation and fate of the film “Descendant of Genghis Khan”, based on the book of the same name by the Siberian writer I.M. Novokshonov. The film was directed by the famous director V. Pudovkin, and the main role was played by the world-famous actor V. Inkizhinov. The creative community of these unique personalities is emphasized, thanks to which the film has become a real masterpiece not only of domestic, but also of the world cinema as a whole. The historical and ethnographic scenes of the Buddhist Tsam, participation in the filming of former Siberian partisans and Trans-Baikal semeyskys, who preserved unique sketches of traditional Siberian society for science, gave special value to the film. The emigration of the lead actor of the film to France, the repression against the writer made the film banned for a long time for the audience.

“The Film Must Be Strictly Historical…”: A Discussion of the Filming of “Kolchakovshchina” in a Siberian Periodical in 1929
The Soviet authorities were already paying attention to perpetuating the memory of the Civil War in the 1920s. A typical example of this was the 1929 production of the film “Kolchakovshchina” in Siberia. The events of the fratricidal confrontation were still too fresh in the public mind, leading to an active absentee discussion in the regional press about what this film should be like. This article is devoted to the scientific understanding of this discussion.
The study was carried out with the support of the RFBR in the framework of scientific project No. 19-39-60009.

Nostalgia for the “Thaw” Period in the Soviet Cinema of the Second Half of the 1970s – Mid-1980s
The paper identifies ways of the Thaw Period’s nostalgic representation in the Soviet films of 1970s-mid-1980s. It is concluded that the Soviet filmmakers started to analyze the Thaw period through the generational discourse, even before the Thaw ended. At first they demonstrated a critical view of the “Sixtiers” (e.g., in the films of M. Khutsiev and R. Viktorov based on the scripts of A. Grebnev) which in the 1970s gave way to the nostalgic representation of the recent past. It can be seen, first of all, in the films creating an idealized image of the past times (e.g., “The Blue Portrait”; 1976, dir. G. Shumsky; “Photographs on the Wall”, 1978, dir. A. Vasilyev; “Dawns are Kissing”, 1978, dir. S. Nikonenko). Another way of nostalgic representation was to construct a positive image of a protagonist who adhered to the values and had best qualities of the “Sixtiers” generation.
