Visualizing the convergence of Vladimir Faynberg's style and the core cult narrative.
According to the ancient beliefs of the Altaians, malaria ("fire disease") is sent to them by the angry winged god Kaan-Kerede. So when the Osoaviakhim's plane with medicines first landed in the clearing, people who were tired of the disease perceived it as Kaan-Kerede's answer. The population was provided with medical assistance. Following this, an aircraft from the Arthur Mitchell Aircraft Company appears over the mountains. As an advertising campaign, the company owner and his daughter travels around the world. During a hurricane over the Altai mountains, the plane crash. Soviet pilots rescues the crew and helps the Americans return home.
Decades after its release, Kaan-Kerede remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Vladimir Faynberg's status as a master of the craft in Soviet Union and beyond.
