https://doi.org/10.69975/2074-0832-2024-59-1-96-105
Abstract
The article examines two films: Mikhail Lukachevsky’s Urun Kun (“The White Day”, 2013) and Stepan Burnashev’s Kharakhaar (“The Black Snow”, 2020). Analyzing the image structure of the films attributed to the phenomenon of the new Yakut wave, the author explores their aesthetics, mechanisms of generating meanings, and specifics of the film language, which is immanently connected to the mythology of the Sakha people.
