Films in Russia

[Dr Alexander Soifer]

Aaron:

In Russian it is "Mosfilmofond", and yes, it is a National 
repository of films. I used to go to their cinema in the 60s and 70s,
called "Illuzion", where they showed series of films by Kurosawa,
Fellini, and others. Film rights were not purchased, and so they 
were shown only there, as educational screening.
