The unknown S.A.Makuxina — as Səkinə in Gilan Qizi [Gilan’s Daughter] (1928) By Leo Mur [Leonti Muraşko]
Like Makuxina, the story of Gilan's daughter is also incomplete, and her desires, wishes, and struggles are not reflected (Gilan girl in the novel is so different).

Sofia Jozeffi (1906–1982) played a “dual role” in the silent film Qız qalası əfsanəsi [Legend of Maiden Tower] (1924), directed by Vladimir Ballyuzek.

The movie, based on one of the versions of an Azerbaijani myth, depicted a tragic tale and became a box office hit.

"A landmark contribution...By challenging the traditional notions of completeness and embracing the fragmentary, Beeston and Solomon offer a radical rethinking of film history and theory." Amazing new review of #Incomplete in @filmquarterly.bsky.social 😍😍😍

At home, I had lived most intensely in the cinema. ... In those dark spaces, I had dreamed of a life elsewhere.

Now, in the place that for all those years had been the “elsewhere,” no further dream was possible.
