Whose Voice Is This? traces the evolution of sound, speech, and music in Central Asian cinema from the 1960s to the 1990s. Through dubbed voices, shifting soundscapes, and soundtracks, it reveals how Soviet ideology gradually weakened and Perestroika’s freedoms emerged, reflecting broader transformations across the region.

Access notes: shaky camera work, black and white cinematography, music over diegetic dialogue
