Abstract

The article traces the historical dynamics of the «Altai feature film text». The author uses the concepts of «geoculture», «geopoetics», «geopolitics», proposed by V. Abashev, D. Zamyatin. The issues of the formation of film production in Siberia, the evolution of the Altai cinema image, the formation of symbolic dominants in feature films made in the 1920s and 1940s are considered. The interrelation of the geocultural paradigm with the political and social events in Russia of this time is shown.
