Original slogan on the poster. 4-10?????? 1983????????????????????????????????? 4-10 JANUARY 1983 ALL-UNION FILM FESTIVAL FAIRY TALES. FILM FESTIVAL IN USSR. IN: 23 ¼ x 32 ¼ = CM: 59 x 82. The All-Union Film Festival is a film festival first organized in 1958. The time and place were set by the USSR State Cinema. Prizes and prizes were awarded in four sections: feature film; documentary film, popular science film and film magazine; and since 1977, two more sections have appeared: a feature film for children and youth and an animated film. The first All-Union Film Festival took place in Moscow in 1958, and was timed to the 50th anniversary of the Soviet film industry. Such festivals were held twice more, in 1959 (Kyiv) and 1960 (Minsk), after which there was a break until 1964. Among the winners of Soviet film festivals until the early 1970s won mostly films that deserved awards. There were, of course, “special features” of the time – in particular, a specially invented award for historical and revolutionary paintings (awarded “Iron Stream” in 1968, “Postal Novel” in 1970). Since 1973, the number of prizes and, accordingly, winners has increased. There were only three main prizes, and since 1975 there was a fourth, the main one above the main ones – the Grand Prix. Changes in the regulations were necessary for the State Cinema to guide the work of the jury. In 1977, a record was set for the number of awarded films – 22. The distribution of prizes took into account the status of the director (four times awarded Sergei Gerasimov and Stanislav Rostotsky), and the status of the film (state order was “doomed” to become one of the winners), and “reputation” author (films by Andriy Tarkovsky, Kira Muratova, Otar Ioseliani were never included in the competition). Among the winners were certainly representatives of national cinemas – thus justifying the title of “All-Union” festival. This largely explains the geography of the film festival – only the first film review took place in Moscow, then either Leningrad (traditionally the “second” capital) or one of the capitals of the union republics was chosen as the venue. There wearing and creasing at the right border edges and upper left corner, tape repairs on the reverse, otherwise the poster is in a good shape with glance type of paper.

Vintage Soviet Union USSR Kiev Ukraine 35mm Rangefinder Photo Film Camera. ATTENTION: Dear Customers, you will receive exactly the same item which you see on the pictures, not similar or other. Please read the description carefully and review the photos. The Kiev rangefinder cameras are derivatives of the pre-WW2 Contax rangefinder bodies, and were made after the War by the Zavod Arsenal factory in Kiev, Ukraine. Soviet forces took the Zeiss Ikon factory in Dresden as war reparations and “relocated” equipment and personnel from the Germany into Kiev, Ukraine. In Kiev, the Zeiss Ikon’s Contax production line was set up again in the Zavod Arsenal facility and quickly started production under the Kiev brand name (1947). Early models (Kiev 2) are said to have been made from original Zeiss Ikon stock the Soviets had taken with them by German technicians. There are reports of models with the original Contax nameplate behind the new Kiev shield. Kiev cameras, just like Contax before them, were considered of higher quality than Zorki/FED and were preferred by Soviet officials and professional journalists. One of the advantages of the Kiev is the use of the Contax long rangefinder base: 9 cm, which allows for very accurate focusing even at very shallow apertures. This feature combined with a clear depth-of-field scale on the lens, and excellent optics is used to create a clear isolation of the subject from the background. Also in the Kiev, just like to Contax before them, the viewfinder and rangefinder are combined in one large bright viewfinder, Leica did not combine the two until the Leica M3 in 1954. Quality of the cameras was maintained into the 1960s, but saw a drop in the 1970s due to simplification and lack of quality control in parts and assembly. However, the cameras keep working within tolerance due to the excellent design of Zeiss team almost 50 years before the last camera left the production line. The Kiev II, is a copy of the prewar Contax II and the Kiev III was a copy of the Contax III, easily recognizable because of the light meter perched on top of the body. Neither of these cameras was synchronized for flash, although many were later modified. The Kiev IIa and IIIa solved this problem. Further refinements resulted in the Kiev 4 and 4A (metered and non metered) models, which were produced from the 1950s until the 1980s with several variations and modifications. The last variants, the Kiev 4AM and 4M, had such modern conveniences as a hot shoe and real rewind crank. There was a short-lived Kiev 5 model that was only produced from 1968 to 1973 and was incompatible with earlier Kiev/Contax lenses. It offered a large and bright finder, with frameline for the standard 50mm lens, an integrated lightmeter, and film advance by a lever. This effort to modernize the line failed, and these cameras are rare today. Weight of the camera: 686g. Weight of the case with camera: 960g.
