Title: Film Produktion der UdSSR 1931/32 (Film Production of the USSR 1931/32)
Author: n/a
Seller: Eric Chaim Kline - Bookseller (United States)
Condition: vg- to vg+
Description: Berlin: Handelsvertretung der UdSSR in Deutschland/ Trade Delegation of the USSR in Germany, 1931. First edition. Softcover. vg- to vg+. Quarto. 75pp. Original lusterous silver paper string-bound wrappers, with red-orange lettering, printed in a striking modernist typefont and the image of the hammer and sickle. Printed by the acclaimed German printing house Dr. Selle-Eysler AG. This extremely scarce German publication presents a catalog promoting 36 Soviet films, intended to be distributed internationally, for the year 1931-1932. Films listed here include works from a number of influential and pioneering filmmakers of Soviet Cinema, including Sergei Einsenstein, Dziga Vertov, Alexander Dovzhenko, Mikhail Kalatozov, Yakov Protazanov, Olga Preobrazhenskaya, and Ilya Trauberg, as well as other historically important works from the late silent and early Soviet sound period, and films now considered lost. All films here were released domestically in the Soviet union between 1928 and 1932. The initial text page states that all the films listed here were productions of the film studios Sojuskino (or "Soyuzkino", which was renamed Lenfilm in 1934) or Meschrabpomfilm (Mezhrabpomfilm). However there are number of films throughout which are credited to various other regional studios of the USSR as well. The text is printed trillingually in German, English and French throughout, with the cover text in German. The text about each film includes director and cinematographer credits, with additional limited crew and/or cast credits and a short synopsis/appraisal. Each text page is accompanied by a photo-collage or photo-montage of numerous b/w photographic still images from the film (photographic reproductions) on the facing page. The final two pages contain a table of contents, and a list of other films mentioned at some point in the text but not shown. The films included here, in order are: - "Enthusiasm" (1930, Dir.
