Union of Soviet Socialist Republics — Cinematography: Addendum to the Progress Committee Report

V. L. Trusko

Motion-picture theaters in the USSR continue to enjoy a high degree of popularity. The yearly attendance reached 4.6 billion in 1974, which means that, on the average, each person in the USSR visited a motion-picture theater 18.3 times during the year and 235 new full-length feature films were produced. At present, 690 wide-screen motion-picture theaters and movie halls are equipped for showing films printed on 70mm stock. Some of the films, released in 1974, were photographed on 70mm negative stock and a number of films were enlarged to 70mm positives from 35mm masters.
