	Film History of the 1930s
		The 1930s decade (and most of the 1940s as well) has been nostalgically labeled "The Golden Age of Hollywood" (although most of the output of the decade was fl-and-white).
		The 30s was also the decade of the sound and color revolutions and the advance of the 'talkies', and the further development of film genres (gangster films, musicals, newspaper-reporting films, historical biopics, social-realism films, lighthearted screwball comedies, westerns and horror to name a few).
		Special-effects processes were advanced by the late 1930s, making it possible for many more films to be shot on sets rather than on-location (e.g., The Hurricane (1937) and Captains Courageous (1937).) In 1937, the Disney-produced Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) was the first feature-length animated film - a milestone.

	An Ethnographic Surrealist Film
		No anthropological film from the 1930s provides such a comparable, almost encyclopedic, portrait of a given region or demonstrates such a subtle understanding of ethnographic film style.
		The surrealist movement in poetry, literature, and film overlapped with the emerging discipline of modern anthropology in France.
		By leaving the traces of this process in the film, however, the director undermines the illusion and exposes the artifice of montage.

	1930s Czech film star Zdenka Sulanova dies at 84 - 11-08-2004 - Radio Prague

		The last of these films was made in 1940 during the German occupation, and Binovec was later accused of collaboration.
		During the thaw of the 1960s, Zdenka Sulanova was allowed to get a job in the Film Institute and be at least closer to her former profession, if not in front of the camera.
