The jewel in the crown of the Austrian Film Museum’s (OeFM) website is its digitised version of fourteen of the original 43 issues of the early Soviet newsreel series Kinonedelja prints of which were acquired by the museum in the 1970s. These newsreels not only provide an provide an invaluable record of life in the fledgling Soviet Russia, then in the throes of civil war, but also comprise the first films of Dziga Vertov - who soon after joining the company took on responsibility for the content and structure of each issue, and - on occasion - directed as well. The newsreels are free to view in their entirety and include full transcripts of the intertitles in German and English.
