Emigrant
Overview: A saboteur sneaks into Tajikistan. Having killed a collective farm instructor, according to his documents, he arrives at the collective farm. He manages to persuade the collective farmer Kamil to emigrate. Having experienced the brunt of the exploitation of the Muslim clergy and the bourgeoisie, Kamil flees to his homeland and exposes the enemy.
Overview: The screen adaptation of the novel by Tadjik writer Sadriddine Aini, telling the story of a tramp who falls in love with a rich girl, was supposed to become the first full-length feature film in Central Asian film history. But the unfinished Dokhunda was banned by the Soviet authorities when film production was already in full swing. No footage survived. This is why Izvolov had to rely on Lev Kuleshov’s draft to study and appreciate the maestro’s vision and the unique aesthetic concept, which was never to be realised during Kuleshov’s lifetime.
