Kalatozov, Sh. Geglashvili ; both films: music by Zoran Borisavljevic; produced for video by David Shepard. 520 $a Two early Soviet documentary films which challenged the stolid, emotionally detached nature of the genre. Turksib depicts the herculean accomplishments of joining the arid plains of Turkestan to the icy Siberian mountains by rail. Salt for Svanetia is an ethnographic treasure that documents the harsh conditions of life in the isolated mountain village of Ushkul. As the focus of the film shifts to the Svan's barbaric religious customs the film is transformed into a work of Communist propaganda, holding up these grotesque, near-pagan ceremonies (which many Svanetians later denied as accurate) as an example of religion's corruptive influence. 538 $a VHS; full screen format. 546 $a Intertitles in English; some credits in Russian with English subtitles; musical soundtrack added for this release. 650 0 $a Railroads $z Asia, Central $x History. 650 0 $a Railroads $z Soviet Union $x History. 650 0 $a Svanetians $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Svanetians $x Religious life and customs. 650 0 $a Ethnology $z Caucasus 650 0 $a Motion pictures, Russian. 650 0 $a Propaganda, Russian. 650 0 $a Motion pictures in propaganda $z Soviet Union. 650 0 $a Documentary films. 700 1 $a Turin, Viktor Aleksandrovich, $d 1895-1945. 700 1 $a Kalatozov, Mikhail, $d 1903-1973. 700 1 $a Shepard, David. 700 1 $a Borisavljevic, Zoran. 710 2 $a Vostok-Kino (Firm) 710 2 $a Goskinprom (Firm) 710 2 $a Kino International Corporation. 740 02 $a Dzhim shvanteÌ. 939 $a 5672013 941 $a 1 945 $a vhs 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=04C4A3E42B0D11DE82774608A8D7520A 994 $a 11 $b IOG 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
