(Ediior' note: An inter
nalional film festival in
Moscow offers the Rus
sians a rare chance lo see
some western stars and
ideas and the west a look
at the Soviet film industry.
Here is a preview of what
the Russians are doing.)
By NICHOLAS DANILOFF
United Press International
Moscow -iUPli- There won't
be any bikinis or starlet hi
jinks but Danny Kaye will
be here- So will Stanley Kra
mer, the producer.
They will be among actors
and technicians from 50 na
tions who have accepted in
vitations to the third interna
tional film festival to con
tinue through July 21.
Host is the Soviet Union,
acclaimed producer of some
of the greatest films of all
times.
This- gathering is likely to
inspire Russian film makers
with dozens of fresh ideas at
a time when movie-making
in the U.S. S R. is under fire
on both political and econo
mic grounds.
But in keeping with the
biennial' tradition of the last
four years, Moscow has in
vited all countries of the
world to compete for honors
under the slogan "for human
ism in film art."
In the past the Soviet
Union has gained rare praise
for some of its productions.
The international jury for the j
bureau of the history of cine
matography voted three So
viet films among the greatest
of them all at the 1958 Brus
sels World Fair. These were
Ssrgei Eisenstein's "Battle
ship P tern kin" (1025),
Mother" produced by Pu-
dovkin (1926) and Dovjhcn-'
ko's "Earth" ilOoO).
Few Films Seen
But American moviegoers
have only had a limited
chance to see the contempor
ary output, because Russian
films are sparsely circulated
in the United States.
This is partly due lo limi-

tat ions of- subject matter
Only recently Premier Niki
tn Khrushchev and his idco
luRioul expert Leonid Ilyi
chev sharply criticized some
of the industry's more daring
efforts, and a plenary mcet
mn oi the Communist party
central c ommiltee has
brought iis ideas to bear on
tiie mauer.
Soviet authorities, and
C. officials before them,
have tried to keep close con
trol of the skill mushroom
ins cinemas in this country
because they recognize them
as op.e pi the broadest and
nie.s'. popular media.
Lcr.in considered films the
mow invortant of the arts.
Russians are avid movie
poors. Tickets cost 50 ko
pecks too cents) or less and
attendance, this year is ex
pected to break the 4 billion
mark.
Five hundred movie thea
!t rs are built in towns every
year, wilh town dwellers at
tending an average of 21
ti'r,e a year and country
dwellers H times a yea in
the remote regions.
Moscow, wiih a population
of seven million, has 114 mo
vie theaters, and several doz
en cinema clubs attached to
various institutions.
Theaters Small
The closest thing to a
western-type "movie palace"
is the "Rossiya" theater.
built at the time of the 1961
film fesitval, which act-mo-dates
1,500 persons and has
special snack bar and foyers.
Most other theaters are
small, holding only several
hundred spectators.
Khrushchev's critical words
on film art raised fears the
Communist party would make
a crackdown on the industry.
"We cannot be impassive
to the ideological trend of
cinematography or the artis
tic merits of pictures released
on the screen," he said in
March. "In this respect affairs
in the movie world are far
from being as rosy as many
cinematographers imagine."
In the 1950's, the party's
control brought film-making
practically to a halt. In Stal
in's last years, production was
down to six pictures a year.
Now it is planned at 155, but
a number in particular the
avant - garde "The Gatepost
of Uyich" are being held up
while revision goes on.
Russian filming dates back
to the nation's first newreel.
May 14, 1896, of the corona
tion of Nicholas Il-last of the
Romanov Czars.
Regular production began
in 1907 and by 1917 more
than 2,000 films had been
turned out. Then, as now, it
was a wide source of enter
tainment and the early films
borrowed heavily from Rus
sian classics such as "The
Brothers Karamazov," "Anna
Karenina" and others.
"War and Peace"
Oddly, the Russians ncvetr
attempted to capture one of
their greatest masterpieces
"War and Peace" until re
cently. It is now being filmed
as a three-part extravaganza
to top the American version.
The production has become
something of a "Cleopatra"
and jokes are sometimes
cracked about the thousands
of Arabian horses imported
for some of the scenes.
One of the great early di
rectors was Sergei Eisenstein,
a pupil of the noted theater
director Vsevolod Meyerhold.
Eisenstein later worked in
Hollywood with Paramount.
But his renown rested with
"Battleship Potemkin" which,
incidentally was banned in
Philadelphia as a sailors'
"Blueprint to Mutiny."
Among his other great
works were "Ten Days That
Shook the World," "Alexan
der Ncvsky" and "Ivan the
Terrible."
The 1930 s ushered in an
era of suppression and even
Russia's first sound film
"Bezhin Meadow" (1937) was
banned for its twin themes of
"permanent and mystical forc
es of good and evil" and "the
destructive aspects of revolution."

Despite the strong revival

remains of the censor's scis
sors. "The Gatepost of llyich"
is nn example.
This movie, based on a
script by director-writer team
Ma.-len Khutsiyev and llen
nacll Shpalikov, was praised
by knowledgeable critics but t,.j
blasU-d by Khrushchev.
Premier Objects
The premier claimed il was
not representative of Soviet
youth and admitted of u fath-er-son
problem.
Oner of the mnsl con I rover-1
sial scenes concerns a dream. 1
by a young man in which his
dead hither suddenly appears.
"How old are you?" asks ;
the fnllicr.
"I am 23,'' Hie youth re
plies. And I am 21," (he father
answers, vanishing.
The suggestion was that the
father, younger than his son, '
could not offer him advice. -This
struck the premier's
cherished idea thai t lie older
generation, can and should
lead the young.
It is si ill uncertain whether '
this film will now be released.
In postwar years, Soviet
films have been largely con
cerned wilh war tales, rcvolu- -liouiiry
and war epics, and ,
something akin lo Ihc Ameri
can musical film. Children's
films are many, But there are
no real detective movies and
many second rate productions
dubbed "tractor epics" by
westerners living here. One
such was aclmilly called "The
Queen of Ihe Gasoline Pump."
One M Ihe best known con
temporary Soviet films is
"When The Cranes Arc Fly
ing," the story of a doomed
wartime love 'affair between
two youngster's. It won first
prize at Ihc Ca.nnes Film Festival.
State Controls
Unlike the American movie
industry, Soviet productions
are under the control of slate
bodies and financed by the
government.
They come under Ihe direc- 1
lion of Ihe slale committee for
cinema and "Gorky Sludios ",
in Leningrad, "Lenfilm" and
various others in different
cities.
Aclois pay can vary from
S200 lo $40(1 a month, which ,
is considered rather high here. '
There is no Russian "Holly
wood" - although movie pro
duction chief Boris Shumyat
sky wanted lo create one on
French
American films which have
been very popular here are
"Inherit The Wind", "The
Magnificent Seven", "Roman
Holiday." But on the other
hand both "Oklahoma" and
"Marty" were flops.
