Abstract
A discussion of Soviet-era filmmaking in the five Central Asian republics (Kazakh ssr, Kyrgyz ssr, Tajik ssr, Turkmen ssr, and Uzbek ssr) which addresses the marginalization faced by republican studios within the ussr, whilst offering insights into the spatial, logistical, thematic, and aesthetic specificities of filmmaking across a wide and diverse territory. The transnational approach allows assessing the positioning of regional cinemas within the broader Soviet system with its structural hierarchies and centralized oversight of production, distribution, and education. The effort is to understand these cinemas not merely as provincial extensions of Moscow-based production, but as historically and culturally situated practices requiring closer attention within world cinema scholarship.
