Soviet Parallel Cinema, often referred to simply as Parallel Cinema, was an underground film movement in the Soviet Union in the 1980s. The films made as part of the movement were noted for embracing amateur aesthetics and for "deliberately to conform to professional standards."
Famous quotes containing the words soviet, parallel and/or cinema:
“One difference between Nazi and Soviet camps was that in the latter dying was a slower process.”

“The universe expects every man to do his duty in his parallel of latitude.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
