Aleksandr Ptushko
Aleksandr Lukich Ptushko (, – 6 March 1973) was a Soviet animation and fantasy film director, and a People's Artist of the USSR (1969). Ptushko is frequently (and somewhat misleadingly) referred to as "the Soviet Walt Disney," because of his prominent early role in animation in the Soviet Union, though a more accurate comparison would be to Willis H. O'Brien or Ray Harryhausen. Some critics, such as Tim Lucas and Alan Upchurch, have also compared Ptushko to Italian filmmaker Mario Bava, who made fantasy and horror films with similarities to Ptushko's work and made similarly innovative use of color cinematography and special effects. He began his film career as a director and animator of stop motion short films, and became a director of feature-length films combining live action, stop motion, creative special effects, and Russian mythology. Along the way he would be responsible for a number of firsts in Russian film history (including the first feature-length animated film, and ...

Salerno Film Festival
Salerno Film Festival (in Italian language, Festival del cinema di Salerno) has operated since 1946 in the Italian city of Salerno. History "Cine Club Salerno", a non-profit association of cinematographic culture, was born in 1945 from a group of friends which had an ambitious program: promoting culture through cinema. Thus, in 1946, the 1st National Exhibition of Cinema a Passo Ridotto was born. The Film Festival of Salerno had its first event in 1946, when it happened to be the first festival of the so-called movement of "reduced step", that lowered all 35 mm movies to 16 mm ones, for a more comfortable spreading. That historical edition was attended, among others, by Vittorio De Sica, Rossano Brazzi, Adriana Benetti, Maria Mercader and Mariella Lotti. On that occasion, the projections were held not only in Salerno but also in Cava de' Tirreni, Positano and Amalfi. Since its first edition, the festival has been held annually (with the exception of the editions of 1953, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Films Based On Russian Folklore
A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films. ...
