July 02, 2015 Sholokhov University hosted the Academic Talk and Seminar, delivered by Sergey A. Toimentsev, (Ph. D. in Comparative Literature (Certificate in Women’s Studies), Rutgers University, held as part of the international scientific program of Russian Institute for Advanced Study (RIAS) "Deleuze and Russian Cinema: Philosophical Aspects of Cinematography in a Totalitarian State".
The Seminar discussed the theoretical and practical aspects of the philosophical approach to cinema, as well as the specifics of Russian cinematography in the light of Deleuze philosophy.
The speaker tried to correct the impression that in the Soviet cinema philosophical understanding of time never occurred. Despite the suppression of the film avant-guard aesthetics by Stalinist socialist realism, in the Soviet cinematography a special tradition of film-image time can be clearly traced, which is most clearly manifested in the films of the “thaw period” by Tarkovsky, Abdrashitov, Sokurov and Muratova.
