- This 120,000-word monograph is the outcome of a five-year research project. It offers the first ever comprehensive analysis of the role of cinematic works in shaping competing nationalist discourses in Kazakhstan alongside demonstrating their politically contentious nature. The book covers the period from Kazakhstan’s inception as a Soviet Republic to post-Soviet independence. The research involved a close analysis of over 50 Kazakh-made films from the last one-hundred years, many only accessible through in-country archives, over 40 interviews with directors, producers, writers, artists and critics involved in the Central Asian film industry, and three focus groups with local cinema audiences.
