Cinema
Dursun
Yevgeni Ivanov-Barkov · 1940
Synopsis
Dursun, a young kolkhoz worker who picks cotton, invents an apron with a front pocket that allows her to work with both hands and quadruples her output. Her success makes her known and earns her an invitation to Moscow, to a congress of the best agricultural workers. Her husband Nury, a horseman, suffers in his pride at seeing his wife's fame eclipse his own, and the household is torn apart under the gaze of the young Komsomol members.
Context
The Ashgabat studio called on a director from Moscow for this film, who, according to the Embassy of Turkmenistan, gave Turkmen actors their first major roles. The female lead went to Nina Alisova, the husband's role to Alty Garlyýew, who then moved into directing and co-directed with Ivanov-Barkov, in 1957, Osoboe poruchenie, the republic's first colour feature film. Turkmen cinema dates its birth from the decree of 7 February 1926.
Who it is for
A Soviet film from 1940, in black and white; it helps to know that the apron the heroine invents frees the hand that used to hold the bag.
Prizes and reception
Stalin Prize in 1941, for the director and for the performers Nina Alisova and Alty Karliev.
