GLASNOST FILM FESTIVAL: CHERNOBYL - CHRONICLE OF DIFFICULT WEEKS & THE BAM ZONE
By Michael Brainerd
The Glasnost Film Festival is a 12-video collection featuring 22 Soviet documentary films produced in the "Glasnost Era." Many of the films remain definitive and timeless documents of previously unexplored aspects of Soviet history and culture.
Chernobyl: Chronicle of Difficult Weeks, 54 min.
Shevchenko's film crew was the first in the disaster zone following the meltdown of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986, documenting both the disaster and the heroic and horrifying attempts to clean up.
The Bam Zone, 19 min.
The uncompleted Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) Railroad in Siberia is a powerful symbol of the stagnation of the Brezhnev years.
