Autotranslated from Russian:
On the formation of the character of a young man, a participant in the struggle for bread in the virgin lands.

Color film. A group of Komsomol members founded the May-Balyk state farm on the virgin lands of Kazakhstan. Among the young men and women, future grain growers, the frivolous, dashing guy Zhenya Omega stands out. In the very first days of his stay on the virgin lands, Zhenya accomplished a number of “feats”: he exchanged rubber boots for a guitar, tried to evade work, and left the tractor driver courses. The management of the state farm and comrades understand that Omega cannot be entrusted with a tractor, and despite the boy’s indignation, he is appointed a water carrier.

Time goes by. Omega, who has become a welcome guest in all teams, begins to be imbued with respect for his profession. Soon the young man has to go through a new test: his beloved girl Olga gives her heart to a young tractor driver, Kazakh Idris. Unsuccessful love did not break Omega. Finally, the first great joy came to him: becoming a tractor driver, he plowed the last furrow in the virgin soil.

The post Aleksandr Medvedkin – Bespokoynaya vesna aka An Unquiet Spring (1956) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

As Chris Marker’s fans already know, Kinopoezd was a project by Alexandr Medvedkin, Soviet filmmaker and though he isn’t mentioned in the titles, he was a main locomotive in this crazy journey.
Train was full of with film prints, editing tables, actors and it traveled through Soviet Union, films were made in one day, edited at night and very next day shown to the people, who participated in it, as Marker says.

The post Aleksandr Medvedkin – Kinopoezd – Cinetrain (1933-35) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Description: Soviet documentary “defending the Chinese people from their enemies, the Maoists”. NB: The film clearly documents the activities of the Red Guards although it never mentions them by name. This has been reflected in the cataloguing. Also, ‘Peking’ has been used instead of ‘Beijing’, again to reflect the content of the film.

Quote:
This Soviet propaganda film with English narration supposedly exposing Maoism. ~ All Movie Guide

Quote:
An extraordinary document from one of the Cold War’s bitterest conflicts–between the Soviet Union and Communist China– this film spares no quarter in its indictment of Maoist evils and misrule. Includes many remarkable sequences, drawn from Chinese, Polish, Western as well as Soviet sources, illustrating the grandeur and folly of China’s fallen Revolution. Notable scenes depict the early upheavals of rural land reform, the backyard steel furnace campaign of the Great Leap Forward; and the Cultural Revolution (including Mao’s celebrated swim in the Yangtze River, surrounded by swimming phalanxes of banner-waving Red Guards).

The post Aleksandr Medvedkin – Noch Nad Kitaem AKA Night Over China (1971) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Aleksandr Medvedkin’s Happiness, as rowdy as any Soviet silent movie, is a comic parable composed of equal parts of Tex Avery and Luis Buñuel. It satirizes the plight of a Soviet farmer who finds himself providing for the state, the church, and his peers at the expense of his personal satisfaction. A hapless young prole, Khmyr, is tasked by his wife with the goal of going out in the world and finding happiness, lest he end up dead and dissatisfied after a lifetime of toil, like his father. Through stylistic exaggeration and a systematic attack on pre- and post-Revolutionary Russia’s dearest institutions, the movie achieves a wide-ranging, and deeply wounding, attack on the limitations placed on personal freedom in Russian society
