Аннотация:This chapter explores the history of Visual Anthropology film festivals inthe USSR2 and post-Soviet Russia. It discusses how the term “Visual Anthropology” entered Soviet academic use at the end of the 1980s, andhow this term corresponded with the earlier experiences of ethnographicfilms and film footage screenings. The chapter focuses on the Folklore onthe Screen festival, held for the first time in 1977 at the All-Union Houseof Composers (Vsesoyuzny Dom Kompozitorov) in Moscow, and the firstInternational Festival of Visual Anthropology organised in 1987 in Pärnu(at that time in Soviet Estonia).The hypothesis is that the Soviet festival movement arose principallywithin the practice of musical folklore recording and reproduction. Thismovement is largely rooted in the activities of folklorists andethnomusicologists who aimed at the audio-visual representation ofmusical folklore phenomena.
