Zikir Trailer (1992)
01 January 1992 Factual 41 mins
The collapse of the Soviet Union itself is encoded in Zikir, by Kyrgyz director Shamil Japparov, completed on the cusp of post-Soviet independence. Shamanic and Sufi tropes about healing were common at the time, largely because scientific methods were no longer working. The film’s documentary form, for this reason, is important.
