Irina Engelis on the cinema of Yakutia
Listen now
Description
Come with me on a journey into the unique world of Yakutian cinema. I'll be exploring the film industry of this vast region in eastern Siberia - known more for its -50c winters and woolly mammoth graveyards than its prize-winning cinematic productions (though hopefully not for long). Helping me make sense of the wider cultural and historical context is Irina Engelis, founder and CEO of the Yakutsk International Film Festival.
The film My Murderer is available to watch with English subtitles on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088JWWFZB/)
Every other film covered in the episode can be found with Russian subtitles here (https://sakhamovie.ru/)
Olonkho performed by Vitaly Nikiforov
Music: Limelight (Michael Howard)
