"Montage film" as a film genre

 In Russian film study and criticism there is a film genre called "montage film(montazhnoe kino)".
The genre was a sub-genre of author's cinema, picked up by Soviet and Russian filmmakers with aesthetic and/or ideological purposes from 1960 s to 1990 s.
Such filmmakers were A. Peleshyan(in some documentaries), A. Sokurov(in some documentaries), O.Kovalov("Scorpion's garden") and S. Seliyanov(in "Russian Idea"with Kovalov as a scripwriter).

 The following video, "The chronicle of Cold War" is my attempt to make such a film using Public Domain films and footage made in USA.

 It may be called a kind of comparative film study in the form experimental film. The theme of this work is; how a same "cliche" style (sometimes mentioned as "Hollywood classical cinema" ) was used in various film genres (newsreels, fiction genre film, instruction film, etc.) from late 1930 to early 1950 in USA. In addition, the editing of this montage film shows the flexibility of the style, which had been influenced by and had influenced on non-US films(for example "soviet montage school").

 The main materials are from the following films;

"Capitalism"(1948) Coronet Instructional Films
"Ghost Patrol"(1936) directed by Samuel Neufeld
"Communism"(1952) Coronet Instructional Films
"From Dawn to Sunset"(1937) The Jam Handy Organization
"Survival Under Atomic Attack (1951)" U.S. Office of Civil Defense
"A is for Atom"(1953) John Sutherland Productions
"Work of the Stock Exchange" (1941) Coronet Instructional Films
