Zikir1992


The collapse of the Soviet Union itself is encoded in Zikir, by Kyrgyz director Shamil Japparov, completed on the cusp of post-Soviet independence. Shamanic and Sufi tropes about healing were common at the time, largely because scientific methods were no longer working. The film’s documentary form, for this reason, is important.
