Technical Report of a Visit to Motion-Picture Facilities in the USSR

Frank Capra, William E. Gephart, Ethan M. Stifle, Deane R. White

A brief report, “Comments in Moscow on Motion-Picture Industry,” appeared in the December 1963 Journal, pp. 957–8. Some additional background and general information are given here before the main portion of this technical report. At the Society's Technical Conference in Los Angeles, April 12–17, 1964, an entire session will be devoted to some personal reporting of the visit, a full discussion of equipment and facilities with many color slides, and a report on Soviet color film, particularly raw stock samples and processed color negatives which were obtained on the trip. Color prints made in the United States from the Russian negatives will be projected at the Conference. The illustrations in this report are from photographs by William E. Gephart, Jr., and Ethan M. Stifle.
