841 rare film of the state cinema museum should be destroyed or legalized
The verification of the film catalog of the State Museum of Cinema led to the recognition of 841 copies of films that were counterfeit. The films were donated to the Film Propaganda Bureau Museum or as gifts from filmmakers. In the first case, the documentation is lost, and in the second - no agreements on the Museum’s right to publicly show films were made.
This year the Museum aligned the catalog of films and sent it to Gosfilmofond to verify ownership of rights. According to Gosfilmofond, 841 copies of films were recognized as counterfeit, that is, the films were transferred without the right to public display.
The former director of the Cinema Museum, Naum Kleiman, noted that he was not approached during the inspection, and that after receiving films as a gift, the museum’s management had agreed on the right to show with the embassies and cultural centers of the respective countries. But Kleiman confirmed that some of the documentation was lost, including the possibility that it was stolen from the Union of Cinematographers.
