Cinema and the Environment in Eastern Europe

Cinema and the Environment in Eastern Europe traces from the 1970s through the post 1989 period how documentaries and filmmakers began to articulate alternative, aesthetically and ideologically provocative visions of the relationship between human and natural worlds.

The annexation of Eastern Europe to the Soviet sphere after World War II dramatically reshaped popular understandings of the natural environment. With an eco-critical approach, Cinema and the Environment in Eastern Europe breaks new ground in documenting how filmmakers increasingly saw cinema as a tool to critique the social and environmental damage of large-scale projects from socialist regimes and newly forming capitalist presences. New and established scholars with backgrounds across Europe, the United States, and Australia come together to reflect on how the cultural sphere has, and can still, play a role in redefining our relationship to nature.
