Description
The Filmmaker's Philosopher: Merab Mamardashvili and Russian Cinema Alyssa DeBlasio explores the intellectual affinities between prominent directors of the late-Soviet intelligentsia, including Alexander Sokurov, Andrey Zvyagintsev and Alexei Balabanov. This multidisciplinary study delves into the philosophical output of Merab Mamardashvili, a key figure in Soviet philosophy, and examines how his ideas influenced a generation of filmmakers. DeBlasio's work offers an innovative approach to understanding film, philosophy, and the potential of cinema as a medium for exploring complex ideas. By examining recent Russian films alongside Mamardashvili's philosophical writings, DeBlasio sheds new light on the intellectual currents that shaped Soviet cinema. Alyssa DeBlasio is Associate Professor of Russian at Dickinson College, bringing her expertise to this in-depth study of Merab Mamardashvili and his enduring impact on Russian film.
