Cinetrain

Cinetrain "Soyuzkino" was a documentary film project conducted across the Soviet Union in the late 1920's by director Aleksandr Medvedkin, All 60 films created in Cinetrain were considered lost until 1980, when some were discovered in the archive of film critic Nikolai Izvolov [4].

Medvedkin outfitted three railroad cars to house his production crew and a lab for rapid developing, processing and assembly of film. His goal was to travel around the country, creating and exhibiting documentary films as quickly as possible

Cinetrain Medvedkin made "sweeping raids shock construction projects Five Year Plan" [1].

The film is in one box! Acute! Taking her heart! Made quickly, he must cling to the big screen thriller as a burr in the dog's tail and go with him on any road film distribution [2].

The severity of raised topics and timely responses allow you to put shorts Medvedkin on a par with modern telehronikoy: "Arriving at an ordinary object, it is the move to remove" hot "subjects, they immediately showed, mounted and on the same day, or at least the next demonstrated at a local club or theatre, to the indescribable delight of the audience "[1]. The idea was to, exposing the shortcomings, to convince the audience of the need to improve the production process.[1]

The cinetrain provoked a lively response among the French left int the 1960s. Figures of the "Medvedkin" led by Chris Marker perceived Medvedkin as "Che Guevara of cinema" - "enthusiast combat propaganda created almost-partisan, in the shortest time and at the scene" [3].
