Soviet parallel cinema is a genre of film and underground cinematic movement that occurred in the Soviet Union in the 1970s onwards. The term parallel cinema (known as parallel’noe kino) was first associated with the samizdat films made out of the official Soviet state system.[1] Films from the parallel movement are considered to be avant-garde, non-conventionalist and cinematographically subversive.
