Abstract

In this article Piotr Wąsala’s aim is to describe the phenomenon of the latest Russian women’s cinema against a significant change that started at the beginning of the second decade of 21st century, i.e., a significant increase in thenumber of women directors. The phenomenon is characterised by a diversity in movie themes and forms of expressions. Wąsala focuses on numerous aspects that have an impact on directors’ works, in particular setting the film plan in the backwoods, the pursuit of authenticity (for example in dialogues), self-sufficiency and the directors themselves, who are regarded as auteurs. Finally, Wąsala analyses a selection of films representative of this phenomenon by focusing on the main themes such as the representation of human individuals, their identity, intimacy and connection with nature.
