Zusammenfassung:Actualities made by foreign companies, like Pathé's "A Fish Factory in Astrakhan, stimulated a demand for home-produced films which was finally answered by the enterprising Drankov. His "Sten'ka Razin" (1908) enjoyed immense success as the first Russian dramatic film. Pathé responded by increasing production at their Moscow studio, with art films like "Princess Tarakanova" (1910) and the first Chekhov adaptation, "Romance with Double-Bass (1911). [www.indiana.edu]
Hansen and Maître were two of the experienced directors sent by Pathé Frères in 1909 to organise the production of Russian subjects, like "Princess Tarakanova!, in an authentic setting. They brought foreign expertise and technicians, from whom Russian filmmakers soon began to learn. While Maître apparently remained aloof from Russian culture, Hansen took "local" advice from Goncharov, codirecting with him "The Life and Death of Peter the Great" (1910) and goiing on tomake the first adapted from Chekhov, "Romance with Double-Bass". He also collaborated on Pathé's major commemorative coproduction with Khanzhonkov, "The Year 1912" (1912). [Cover]
An anthology in ten volumes of Russian filmmaking from the early years of the 20th century. The films were rediscoved at the Pordenone Silent Film Festival in 1989. This selection was made by Ian Christie for an exhibition ‘Twilight of the Tsars’ at London’s Hayward Gallery in 1991. The films were transferred at appropriate running speeds, with improvised music by Neil Brand, and English subtitles by Julian Graffy of the School of Slavonic and European Studies, University of London.
