Early Russian Cinema, Part 4: Provincial Variations*

• 1992 ----- b & w ----- 55 min ----- vhs
• Although the early Russian cinema industry was based mainly in Moscow, provincial film-making contributed some striking novelties. Among these were the Latvian Wedding Day (Slavinskii, 1912) which provides an invaluable record of traditional Jewish customs. The remarkably bleak melodrama Merchant Bashkirov's Daughter (Larin, 1913), set on the Volga, was based on a real murder scandal.
