Cinemasaurus by Nancy Condee

Examines contemporary Russian cinema as a new visual economy, emerging over three decades after the Soviet collapse. Focusing on debates and films exhibited at Russian and US public festivals where the films have premiered, the volume's contributors examine issues in Russia's transition.
"With these crisscrossing themes and trajectories, Cinemasaurus carefully traces a nuanced picture of multiple, often contradictory, tendencies in Russian film todayIt looks equally to the past and future; and it investigates features both little and large, both peripheral and imperial. For these reasons, the editors and contributors are to be congratulated alike. Ideally suited to cinema survey classes, Cinemasaurus will offer clarity to both students and scholars, and it will prompt substantial future research." - Studies in European Cinema

"In its broad intellectual ambition, and in the consistently informed and incisive essays of the young scholars whom [Condee] has nurtured, this handsomely produced volume is also a salute to her own inestimable contribution to our understanding of contemporary Russian cinema and society." - Russian Review
