Natalija Majsova (06/09/2020, Strelka Mag; also in a video lecture for the Canadian Centre for Architecture), “Soviet Sci-Fi Film and Different Modalities of Future Ecosystems“: “Irina Povolotskaia’s 1967 debut The Mysterious Wall [75 mins.] pioneered in offering an alternative approach. This production, stylistically influenced by the French New Wave, … used the overarching theme of encountering outer space to interrogate the human capacity to ever really engage with otherness, such as aliens. In this case, the aliens take on the form of a mysterious wall that appears at regular intervals in the nowhere of the taiga.” Previously mentioned in #WomenMakeSF.
