Imperium
Synopsis
A visual journey through the vastness of the Soviet Union, composed exclusively of archival footage shot between 1970 and 1973 by a group of Italian filmmakers. From the nomadic encampments of Central Asia to Red Square, from remote villages in the Caucasus to the far reaches of the Far East, the film reveals a mosaic of cultures that the regime sought to homogenize.
