Just to point out, these are all historical re-creations. They're amazing
films but all fictional.
Esther (aka Esfir) Shub's "Fall of the Romanov Dynasty" was the first
documentary to use the authentic footage and one of the first "compilation"
docs ever. I brought it out on VHS in Kino's Red Silents series many years
ago but I don't know if it's on DVD. She did another film called The Great
Road which followed the years 1917-1927 in the Soviet Union but I've never
seen it.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
