Recordings of Klop

[Laura Pontieri Hlavacek]

Dear Connor,
I believe University of Pittsburgh Film Collection has the film  
"Maiakovskii smeetsia" (S. Iutkevich and A. Karanovich, 1975). I  
believe you are not in Moscow, otherwise you could request a copy  
from Gosfilmofond (I saw it there).
The film, however, it's not a straightforward adaptation of "Klop."   
It's an experimental film that mixes various genres, from documentary  
to live-action, from musical to animation. It is very interesting but  
it's extremely fragmented and it might be difficult to follow by  
students who are not fluent in Russian.
Good luck for your search,
Best,
Laura
