Tiivistelmä: | This article examines the technical and economic aspects of film production in the Soviet Union (USSR) in the 1920s and 1930s, exploring the extent of 'cinefication', especially as to the lack of technology for sound film. It looks at the distribution and demonstration systems for films, making comparisons to the United States (U.S.) motion picture industry. It is argued that fewer films were produced in the USSR, thus offering a limited choice to Soviet audiences while new films were distributed with an insufficient number of copies and hence, the rise of Soviet film as an industry got complicated. The article demonstrates the absence of an infrastructure and an industry to produce the technical equipment for film production and demonstration, making the industry dependent on the West. |
