		<description>I actually thought &quot;Cannibal Holocaust&quot; (it&#039;s by Ruggero Deodato) was in its own over-done way a clever satire on media sensationalism and Western stereotypes about the behaviour of so-called primitive savages. After all, it wasn&#039;t the Amazon Indians who behaved &quot;badly&quot;, though they did have their gruesome punishments and rituals - it was the film-makers in the movie who behaved badly. The film is famous as the inspiration for &quot;The Blair Witch Project&quot;.

I&#039;ve seen some very interesting Soviet films on Youtube and if anyone else wants to see what I&#039;ve seen so far, here is the list (not all of these are in Russian):
Vladimir Chebotaryov and Gennady Kazansky, &quot;Amphibian Man&quot;*
Alexander Dovzhenko, &quot;Aerograd&quot; (no English subtitles though)
Alexander Dovzhenko, &quot;Arsenal&quot;
Sergei Eisenstein, &quot;Alexander Nevsky&quot;
Fyodor Khitruk, &quot;Vinnie Pukh&quot; / &quot;Vinnie Pukh idyot v gosti&quot; / &quot;Vinnie Pukh i den&#039; zabot&quot; 
Mikhail Karyukhov and Alexander Kozyr, &quot;The Sky Calls&quot; aka &quot;Call of the Heavens&quot; (Russian name is Nebo Zovyot)*
Pavel Klyushantsev, &quot;The Planet of Storms&quot; / &quot;Planeta Bur&#039; &quot;*
Georgy Kropachyov and Konstantin Yershov, &quot;Viy&quot; (1968 horror film based on Nikolai Gogol&#039;s short story)
Konstantin Lopushansky, &quot;Dead Man&#039;s Letters&quot; (a poor man&#039;s &quot;Stalker&quot; - Lopushansky assisted Tarkovsky on that film)*
Risto Orko and Alexander Ptushko, &quot;The Sampo&quot;
Sergei Parajanov, &quot;The Color of Pomegranates&quot; aka &quot;Sayat Nova&quot;
Sergei Parajanov, &quot;The Legend of Suram Fortress&quot;
Sergei Parajanov and David Abashidze, &quot;Ashik Kerib&quot;
Marek Pestrak, &quot;Pilot Pirx&#039;s Inquest&quot; (Polish-Estonian production)*
Yakov Protazanov, &quot;Aelita, Queen of Mars&quot; (1924 silent film)*
Yevgeny Sherstobitov, &quot;The Andromeda Nebula&quot;*
Dziga Vertov, &quot;Man with a Movie Camera&quot; (1929 silent film)
Vasily Zhuravlov, &quot;The Space Voyage&quot;*

The cartoons by Khitruk are a Winnie-the-Pooh trilogy based on the original A A Milne stories and all three cartoons are much, much better than the Disneyfied version of Winnie of Pooh.

The asterisked films are science fiction films and with the exception of &quot;Amphibian Man&quot; and &quot;Dead Man&#039;s Letters&quot;, all are space travel flicks of a mostly pro-Soviet bent. The set designs on some of these films can be quite astounding for their time (most of them were made in the 1960s). I do recommend seeing some of these films even though the plots and acting look clumsy because they give an insight into Soviet attitudes about space travel and they emphasise co-operation and the advancement of scientific knowledge rather than competition and blasting aliens which seem to be the lot of most Hollywood sci-fi space operas.

There are quite a few Dovzhenko films on Youtube but not all of them have English subtitles.</description>
