In A Siberian History of Soviet Film, Caroline Damiens explores how the depictions of the Indigenous ‘Peoples of the North’ in Soviet cinema and television evolved between 1920 and 1980. She combines a detailed analysis of key films with primary sources like press articles, archives, and interviews, to reveal how these cinematic portrayals were negotiated, emphasising the role of Indigenous individuals in shaping their cinematic image, both in front of and behind the camera.
