Abstract:
"Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema is the first English reference work of its kind devoted entirely to the cinema of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the post-Soviet period, including both cinematic highlights and mainstream film. The most influential artists of the former Soviet republics are also represented. Through a chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, and more than 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on filmmakers, performers, cinematographers, composers, producers, studios, genres, and films, this reference work covers the history of Russian and Soviet filmmaking from 1896 to 2007"--Jacket.
Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
Peter Rollberg writes in his preface that he devoted six years to compiling this historical dictionary. The effort shows. The Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema is packed full of useful information and it will be particularly helpful for students who need a comprehensive volume. . . . Not only will the reader receive a clearer picture of Soviet cinema, they also can place the developments of Georgian, Kazakh and other cinematic traditions within useful chronological and cultural contexts. * Studies In Russian and Soviet Cinema, January 2010 * Rollberg has penned an excellent introduction, which in twenty pages tells us more about Russian and Soviet cinema history than several full-length book studies have done. The entries are clear, judicious and detailed, without being overloaded with unnecessary information. It is particularly pleasing to see so many entries associated with the popular cinema that has previously been too frequently overlooked by academic researches, but that meant so much to the mass audience. -- Richard Taylor * The Russian Review, July 2009 * Read more...
