The film takes its cue from Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks’ visit to Russia in 1926.

And not only that, but: “Mary SAW ME!” The inserted newsreel footage is cut so as to give the illusion of a special moment of eye contact between her and Mary & Doug. Her joy is palpable. “She’ll take me to – AMERICA!” And when the girl lies down to take a rest, she is transformed into a cartoon character – and the film enters an animated Hollywood dreamland.One of Many (1927) movieGenre: Comedy, AdventureProduction Co.: Mezhrabpom-RusDirected by Nikolaj HodataevWriting Credits: Nikolaj HodataevCinematografy by P.

The Peasants’ Lot (1912) movie All soviet movies on RVISION 2016-12-19 | A melodramatic story of young Russians in love. This movie once again illustrates the superior artistry and emotional power of Russian film in the pre-revolutionary period.Young Petr (Ivan Mosjoukhine, who we’ve seen in “Christmas Eve” and “House in Kolomna”) is in love with Masha (Aleksandra Goncharova, from “16th Century Russian Wedding” and “The Brigand Brothers”). They make time together in a haystack, to the approval of his father, and convince her father that they should be wed. While they are planning, a fire destroys the house of Masha’s family, and they sink into poverty as they are forced to sell off their most important possessions, including the cow that brought in most of the family income. Masha goes to the city in search of labor, as many young peasant people did in Russia during the Czarist period. Just as with an American film in which a healthy, honest young woman from the farm seeks her fortune in the city, Masha soon falls into a dangerous and corrupting situation. She becomes a serving-girl to a wealthy man with an automobile and ulterior motives. Back on the farm, her father becomes ill and the family dispatches a letter asking her to send money quickly. She gets it the only way she can see how – by asking the master for it and doing what he asks in return. She delivers the money, and confesses how she got it, and she and her father commiserate over their unfortunate lot. Petr is now married, and Masha turns to another suitor, but they seem to be mooning over one another as they work together in the fields once more.

Fish Factory in Astrakhan (1908) documentary All soviet movies on RVISION 2016-12-18 | It would have served as a kind of travel movie, shown to audiences eager to see “exotic” faraway places depicted on their domestic screens. However, there’s a good chance it was shown in the Russian interior as well, where there would be many citizens for whom Astrakhan was nearly as exotic as it seemed in Paris.The film represents a series of shots taken at an actual fish processing center on the Volga. The fish are delivered, cleaned, salted and shipped out, and we also see the workers during their lunch break. The emphasis on workers may help explain why a Soviet archive felt it was worth preserving. They actually seem pretty happy, for an oppressed working class, and frequently turn and smile to the camera (on the other hand, the presence of the film crew may have been an excuse to slack off). Nearly all the workers we see are women, except for a few men who steer the rafts that are used to deliver the fish. Most of the work is done by hand in a very inefficient and un-ergonomic manner.Fish Factory in Astrakhan (1908) documentaryDirected by : UnknownProduction : Pathé

Fearless of cruel fangs, they will spring at a wolf and bear him to the ground almost before their masters have time to reach the spot with their lassos in their hands. Another second, however, and the beast will be captured; a wedge is then forced between its teeth, and in the evening, together with several other captives, it will be brought back, still living, amidst the joyous barking of the dogs, and the rattling of sleigh bells, and the shouts of the hunters.Wolf Hunting in Russia (1910) documentaryGenre: DocumentaryProduced by Pathé Frères

Kino-pravda no. 6 (1922) documentary film All soviet movies on RVISION 2016-12-18 | In 1922 Vertov started the Kino-Pravda series. Kino-Pravda [Cine-Truth] (23 issues between May 1922 and March 1925) was named in honor of Pravda, the Soviet daily newspaper founded by Lenin. Issued irregularly, it offered reportage on an extremely wide variety of subjects and acted as a laboratory for the development of a film vocabulary (particularly from the thirteenth issue onward). During this period, Vertov developed his montage techniques and honed his growing theories about cinema as the art form best suited for the masses. The evolution of the series was characterised both by the deployment of an increasingly rich repertoire of devices--including archival footage, news footage, animations, experiments with moving intertitles, reenactments, and (contrary to Vertov's stated principles) staged sequences--and by increasing structural and thematic unity; the series culminated in inventive treatments of single themes like the Young Pioneer organisation, the death of Lenin, or the visit of a peasant to the city.

Kino-circus / Cinema Circus (1942) animated cartoon All soviet movies on RVISION 2016-12-17 | ‘Kino-Circus’ (also called Cinema Circus) is the most inspired of the anti-fascist war propaganda cartoons made in the Soviet Union.The short is called ‘a cartoon satire in three acts’ and features a Charlie Chaplin-like character, who introduces us to three staged satires, all featuring Adolf Hitler:In the first, ‘Adolf the dog trainer and his pooches’, Hitler throws a bone at his three dogs, Benito Mussolini, Miklós Horthy and Ion Antonescu, the leaders of his allies Italy, Hungary and Romania, respectively.In the second, ‘Hitler visits Napoleon’, Hitler asks Napoleon’s tomb for advice, but the deceased drags him into the tomb. It’s the most prophetic of the three, for indeed both Napoleon and Hitler were defeated in Russia.In the third, ‘Adolf the juggler on powder kegs’, Hitler juggles with several burning torches on a pile of powder-barrels, representing the countries he has occupied. When he accidentally drops one of the torches, the barrels explode. The animation is particularly silly in this sequence and a delight to watch.Kino-circus / Cinema Circus (1942) animated cartoonGenre: AnimationProduction Co: SoyuzmultfilmDirected by Leonid Amalrik, Olga Khodatayeva Writing Credits: Leonid Amalrik, Konstantin Gavryushin, Olga Khodatayeva, N.

Soviet Toys (1924) animated cartoon All soviet movies on RVISION 2016-12-17 | The first-ever animated cartoon from the Soviet Union was made by none other than the avant-garde director Dziga Vertov. In this earlier cartoon, Soviet Toys (1924), Vertov toys with the idea of a Soviet Christmas, free from all capitalist oppression. The film depicts the avaricious bourgeois and a transitional period in the Soviet state; under the New Economic Policy (NEP), a limited form of enterpreneurship was allowed. Here the side effects of this liberallist policy need to be overcome by a strong cooperative proletarian effort.Soviet Toys (1924) animated cartoonGenre: AnimationProduction Co.: GoskinoDirector: Dziga VertovWriter: Dziga VertovAdditiional information:Dziga Vertov is best known for his dazzling city symphony A Man with a Movie Camera, which was ranked by Sight and Sound magazine as the 8th best movie ever made. Yet what you might not know is that Vertov also made the Soviet Union’s first ever animated movie, Soviet Toys.Consisting largely of simple line drawings, the film might lack the verve and visual sophistication that marked A Man with a Movie Camera, but Vertov still displays his knack for making striking, pungent images. Yet those who don’t have an intimate knowledge of Soviet policy of the 1920s might find the movie — which is laden with Marxist allegories — really odd.

The 1002nd Ruse (1915) movie All soviet movies on RVISION 2016-12-16 | "The 1002nd Ruse", 1915, is a domestic comedy silent film featuring Evgeny Bauer's wife. It's a silly short film that makes fun of infidelity and involves a married couple who enjoy trying to outwit the other and make a fool out of the other. This brief comedy (about 15 minutes) is a surprise for all who have discovered this truly cinematic genius recently because of his tone, close to Lubitsch, Demille or La Cava silent comedies and far away from those enigmatic, tragic, hopeless "After death", "Daydreams" or "Silent witnesses". Especially wonderful the outdoor scenes, like it happens always in his movies, full of life and grace.
