Film on Circassian Village in Shapsughia (province of Circassia) ,1972
Documentary film “The Man from Psibe Village” on the Circassian settlement of Psibe in Shapsughia in westernmost Circassia.
The film is about the work of the rural postman X’useyn Achmiz (Aчyмыжь), a resident of the Circassian village of Psebe (Пcыбэ [Psibe], in Circassian), “in the Adigean Autonomous Oblast” [this is inaccurate]. It depicts the life in a (Shapsugh) Circassian village in the early 1970s. Although the village Psebe is billed as being in the Adigean Autonomous Oblast, it is actually in the Shapsugh Region, to the north of the town of Tuapse. Psibe (Пcыбэ) literally means “Water Abundant” in Circassian. It has a population of a few hundreds, mainly Circassians. The number of villagers has been decreasing in the past few decades
It is hoped that the Shapsugh Region would be joined to the Republic of Adigea for the benefit of both the Adigeans and Shapsugh. Adigea would then have access to the Black Sea, and the Shapsugh would benefit from the Circassian language and culture institutions in Adigea, which would stem the rising tide of assimilation.
Scenes:
1. Postman X’useyn Achmiz travels with his horse across the Shapsugh countryside. He knows every nook and cranny in this ancient land of the Shapsugh Circassians.
2. View of the Psibe village in the Shapsugh Region (in westernmost Circassia).
3. The postman goes through the village, handing out letters and telegrams to villagers. • The villagers are dancing, talking
4. New-born baby is blessed by the elders, in accordance with ancient Circassian customs.
5. Postman Achmiz takes part in “sch’ihafi” «ш1ыxьафы», an ancient Circassian custom whereby the residents of a village assemble to build or fix a house for a needy family on a voluntary basis.
6. Postman hands a woman a “talking letter“. She listens to it on a record-player. “I am alive and kicking, and doing alright. My work is also going well! ...”
7. Road construction near Psibe connecting to Adigea. Cars drive on the road.
8. View of Psibe.
9. Postman X’useyn Achmiz travelling on a treacherous mountain path with his faithful horse
