From the October Revolution to Perestroika
From the 1920s to the 1930s, the Soviet regime ordered the production of dozens of animated propaganda films. Their target audience was the Soviet Union itself, and their goal was to win over the hearts and minds of the Soviet people. While many of these films are sharply anti-American, anti-Capitalist, and anti-Fascist, they combine with their harsh political themes a striking originality and beauty in graphic design that is reminiscent of famous Russian poster art from the 1920s. A unique series, with a leading perspective. Commentary by a leading Soviet film scholar. Two hours of documentary and 6 hours of animated films on 4 DVDs. Features:
· American Imperialists
· Fascist Barbarians
· Capitalist Sharks
· Onward to the Shining Future: Communism |
