Cinema in Central Asia is the first comprehensive and up-to-date account of the cinema of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan from its origins to the present day. Bringing together specialists from Central Asia, Russia,  Europe and the United States, this companion to the cinema of the region combines serious scholarly study with practical accessibility to construct an historical narrative, discuss aspects of film production and consider the impact of film. The book also offers a deeper understanding of Central Asian culture that is invaluable with the geopolitical and economic emergence of this exciting region. The book opens with a broad history, paying particular attention to the emergence and expansion of the film industry, competing visions of nationalism and distinct phases of the post-Soviet film experience. A series of incisive articles written by specialists on Central Asian film follows.

The Central Asian new wave produced far more art than is known overseas but many masterpieces have disappeared, for innumerable reasons. This year’s special program, “The Unknown New Wave of Central Asian Cinema,” was designed to position these forgotten new wave films in their rightful place within world film history. Though countless works will never be recovered and the state of other prints is poor, eight masterpieces from four countries will be screened for audiences once again.
