Early Russian Cinema, Part 3: Starewicz's Fantasies*
- 1992 ----- b & w ----- 60 min ----- vhs
- Ladislaw Starewicz's later puppet animation is now better known than his brilliant beginnings at the Khanzhonkov Studio. He pioneered insect-puppets in The Dragonfly and the Ant (1911) which brought him early fame--Czar Nikolai was an admirer. He turned to live-action fantasy in a ribald adaptation of Gogol's Christmas Eve (1913) which launched him on an equally original feature career in fantasy subjects. He also contributed strongly to the war effort with a string of propaganda shorts typified by The Lily of Belgium (1915).
