Historical accounts of the Mezhrabpom Film Studios & role of Francesco Misiano

[Giuliano Vivaldi]

Dear all,

Could anyone indicate me to any full accounts of the history of the Mezhrabpom Film Studios - my main purpose is to uncover something about the role that Francesco Misiano played in this film studio and in Soviet cinema history as a whole but so far I haven't found any references to him in the standard Russian/Soviet cinema histories (Leyda, Youngblood, Buttafava, Lebedev etc) nor in my copy of Yutkevich's Kinoslovar. I have discovered leads to some biographies of Misiano in Italian but would appreciate any sources in Russian, English, French or Spanish (and if not in these languages as a last resort in German) on his role in Mezhrabpom and on the history of Mezhrabpom itself.
