FAMILY TRAVELOGUE + SOVIET FOUND FOOTAGE
The personal and the historical mix beautifully in what is part
travelogue and part a journey to relatives, relationships and a
decent gulp of Vodka.
NIKITA KINO
Doc, 40 min
A film by Vivian Ostrovsky
Dear Librarians/Professors,
We are happy to let you know about a remarkable film that is part
personal recollections and part historical recording.
This film is a must for Soviet studies! Filmmaker Vivian Ostrovsky
traveled with her family from Brazil to the Soviet Union in the
1970's. Her father, originally from Russia, brought them there to
visit his family and to tour around places of his past.
NIKITA KINO is made up entirely of family footage shot in and around
Moscow mixed with found archival footage from the Soviet Union of the time.
The story that the film tells is both private in its intimate details
and sweeping in the history it presents. The idea of identity and
history is played with and looked at with a sense of thrill and the
utmost seriousness at the same time.
We would be glad for NIKITA KINO to be included in your library
collection. If you are planning programming having to do with Russia
and the Soviet Union NIKITA KINO is a must have. We would be happy
to send you a DVD for preview of this special film. The purchase
price for university libraries is $300 plus shipping and handling
and $115 plus shipping and handling for public libraries.
