- Abstract
The article studies the concept of Siberia in audio-visual images of cinematography. The research is made on the basis of several films. In Soviet cinematography the concept of Siberia is analyzed on the basis of Ivan Pyr’ev’s “Skazanie o zemle sibirskoi” (“The saga of Siberia”) (1947), in Post-Soviet cinematography this concept is analyzed on the basis of Viacheslav Ross’s “Siberia. Mon amour” (2011). Regarding foreign films about Siberia, the author focuses on “Bells from the Deep. Faith and Superstition in Russia” (1993) and “Happy people: a Year in the Taiga” (2011) shot by Werner Herzog, a German film director, in co-directorship with Dmitry Vasyukov, a Russian film director. The research resulted in revealed conceptual images of Siberia translated into the culture of cinematography. The article also provides a review of scientific literature on Siberian cinematography
