Turksib (Russian: Турксиб) is a 1929 Soviet documentary film directed by Viktor Alexandrovitsh Turin documenting the building of the Turkestan–Siberia Railway. The rail line stretched north east from Tashkent to Almaty and on to Novosibirsk. The film contrasts the open desert and sand, with the order of a rails and movement of machines. The Turkic people ride horses and camels and rear sheep. This drama is set against the dry m steppe as it is converted into a cotton growning region. The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray by the British Film Institute in 2011 as part of The Soviet Influence: From Turksib to Night Mail, with a newly commissioned soundtrack by Guy Bartell of British group Bronnt Industries Kapital.[1][2]
