Cinema: A Public Affair

The documentary features Naum Kleiman, a prominent Eisenstein expert and the former director of the "Musey Kino" in Moscow. This museum has been crucial for showcasing banned classics and Soviet films since 1989, serving as an important intellectual forum in the city.

It also highlights the challenges faced by cultural institutions, particularly following the controversial closure of the museum and Kleiman's dismissal. This documentary may appeal to collectors interested in film history and the socio-political landscape of cinema in Russia.
