	Dziga Vertov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Potemkin was a heavily fictionalized film telling the story of a mutiny on a battleship which came about as a result of the sailors' mistreatment; the film was an obvious but skillful propaganda piece glorifying the proletariat.
		Vertov lost his job at Sovkino in January 1927, possibly as a result of criticizing a film which effectively preaches the Communist party line, while at the same time producing films which effectively challenge or subvert it.
		However, Vertov's two credos, often used interchangeably, are in fact distinct, as Yuri Tsivian points out in the commentary track on the DVD for Man with the Movie Camera: for Vertov, "life as it is" means to record life as it would be without the camera present.

		In 1924 Sovkino, a stock company financed by government agencies, replaced Goskino, which was largely funded and managed by private citizens.

		Ironically, Sovkino began operating on this export basis in 1925, the same year in which Stalin's policy of "Socialism in one country" was first put forth publicly.
		Sovkino films were consistently compared with foreign films and found to be too similar: they were not considered entirely fit for domestic audiences.
		Then during May and June, Sovkino was replaced by Soyuzkino, a company controlling the domestic market; it formed a more complete monopoly than had Sovkino, and was vertically integrated to control all segments of the industry.

		They were printed on a low-grade paper, and what’s more, even that sort of paper lacked, that’s why a sheet that was used once then was of ten used repeatedly and printed on the reverse.
		The placards production, like everything in the soviet system, was carried out in a centralized way under the state control: subordinate to the SOVKINO (soviet cinema) were there four studios and 22 production departments, many of them disposing of their own placard production.
		All the cine-placards had to be approved in reklamkino (advertisement department of Sovkino).

		Photo albums and positive photo materials of pre-Revolutionary time and the first years of Soviet power were concentrated at the Department IV of the State Archive of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, which was later reorganized and became the Archive of October Revolution (AOR).
		As of 1926 the Archive of October Revolution was receiving film documents from the storehouses of the Skobelev Elucidative Committee, Soviet film organizations, including Sovkino, Proletkino, and Narcompros RSFSR, the Leningrad Historical and Regional Archives, and from private persons.
		Between 1927 and 1928, a special depository for film documents was organized in the Archive of October Revolution, but the idea to concentrate all film materials in one place did not work well up to the end of this period.

	Eisenstein's Mexican Dream
		Although Russia began development of sound systems in '29, they were nowhere near ready.
		It became clear to the officials at Sovkino, and to the Soviet film industry in general, that it would be necessary to learn more about sound technology from the western countries, or risk staying backward and behind the times.
		Part of their plan was to have a Soviet artist make a sound film in the west, preferably the U.S., and therefore get hands-on experience that would be teachable to others.

		Although he had not yet experienced censure, Eisenstein’s first encounter with Stalin's post-production tampering would occur with the post-production of his next film, the Revolutionary epic, October.
		Authorised by Sovkino, the Soviet film agency, and commissioned by the October Revolution Jubilee Committee, Eisenstein was hired to direct October, a passionate tenth anniversary account of the 1917 Civil War.
		Much has been discussed concerning the film’s glorified, and somewhat romaticised, depiction of the Bolshevik Revolution, and the martyrdom that prevails the scenes of carnage near the St. Petersburg bridges.

		El público acostumbrado al estilo burgués de la película yanqui, podrá no apreciar en todo su justo valor este esfuerzo de la “Sovkino”.

		Furthermore, the incarnation of the New Babylon shooting script used for the pre-censorship "German" version is itself a substantial revision of the version of the script approved by the Sovkino board at the beginning of 1928.
		No doubt this call for ideological dictatorship in the film industry was itself dictated to the signatory directors, who had no choice but to add their autographs.

		En 1929, lorsque Gaumont rompt ses relations avec le Sovkino, le cinéaste n’hésite pas à s’aventurer dans la distribution des films soviétiques en France, ce qui lui vaudra bien des soucis.
		La commission de censure lui impose, en effet, des coupures drastiques, mal vécues non seulement par la représentation commerciale du Sovkino 9, mais par les communistes français, Léon Moussinac en tête 10.
		Les deux artistes partagent également, sans le savoir, la même passion pour la philosophie allemande.
