Old Russian film footage



Just wondering if anyone on the list has seen this film and if there's any 
dancing on it.  It seems to be only available in the state of Washington.

EARLY RUSSIAN CINEMA, PART 4: PROVINCIAL VARIATIONS* 
  a.. 1992 ----- color ----- 55 min ----- $16.00 ----- vhs 
  b.. 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. [Musical soundtrack; English subtitles] (Donated by the 
Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies Center) (Restricted to use by 
institutions of learning within the State of Washington only)
