Inside the Film Factory - New Approaches to Russian and Soviet Cinema (Hardcover, New)

This is the first collection to be inspired and informed by the new films and archival material that glasnost and perestroika have revealed, and the new methodological approaches that are developing in tandem. Film critics and historians from Britain, America, France and the USSR attempt the vital task of scrutinising Soviet film, and re-examining the Cold War assumptions of traditional historiography. Whereas most books on Soviet giants have glorified the directorial giants of the "golden age" of the 1920s, "Inside the Film Factory" also recognises the achievements of popular cinema from the pre-revolutionary period through to the 1930s and beyond. It also evaluates the impact of Western cinema on the early experimenters of montage, Russian science fiction's influence on film-making, and the long-suppressed history of Soviet Yiddish productions. Alongside the new perspectives and source material on the much-mythologised figures of Kuleshov and Medvedkin, the book provides extended accounts in English of the important but neglected careers of directors Yakov Protazanov and Boris Barnet. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of film studies and Soviet studies.
