Synopsis

The two decades following the Russian Revolution were shaped by a group of young individuals who had a significant impact on Russian cinema. This artistic movement was driven by directors, actors, technicians, and poets. The film presents these figures and their perspectives. Soviet actress Ada Voistik and her comrades recount the story of this distinctive era through the imagery of Soviet fictional works produced between 1917 and 1934. Through these works, viewers gain insight into their efforts to build a new society, where creative freedom was of central importance. This vision of a utopia was ultimately undermined by an authoritarian regime that affected cinema as well as other aspects of society.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
