The Star, a 2002 Russian film, is our inspiration for this event.

Rather unbelievably, the entire film appears to be on YouTube.

Have a look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKwIJJQY1k0

You could also buy it to support the fantastic work that the producers have done making it.

Watched "The Star" again today, it really is a most excellent film. Like all films with subtitles, it means you actually have to watch it, in order to see what's going on! I echo Headshot's comments, watch it on youtube to get a flavour for what we are aiming for but, ideally, buy it! It's a great addition to any WW2 film collection.



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

I watched Liberation by Mosfilm a few weeks back.

http://www.youtube.com/mosfilm

Russia’s giant Mosfilm, one of the largest and oldest film studios in Europe, has teamed up with Google to launch a channel on YouTube, where Mosfilm will be showcasing its feature films free of charge.

­The channel already has 50 films available in HD on its virtual “shelves” and is planning to add five new films each week.

By the end of the year there will be up to 200 films from Mosfilm’s golden collection of several thousand, accompanied by subtitles.

Most importantly, the company can be sure that only legal copies of its productions will be available. Moreover, thanks to YouTube’s state-of-the-art technology, Mosfilm will be able to track down pirate copies of its films.

“The primary objective of the project is to enable internet users to watch legal copies of films in high quality and put an end to illegal use of our productions. YouTube’s special system will make it possible to block off the illegal content,” head of the studios, Karen Shakhnazarov, was quoted as saying.

It is not the first time that Mosfilm has aimed to make it big on the internet. It has recently given access to over 500 films from its golden collection, from Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin to Tarkovsky’s Ivan’s Childhood. The selection features legendary works by Soviet and Russian filmmakers, available for free viewing in the screening rooms of Mosfilm’s online cinema, accompanied by English, French and German subtitles.
