Is there an IMDB link for these movies?

[Brent_Reid]

These look great though they sure are obscure, even in their home country, but especially so outside of it. They were issued on the Yugoslav Film Archive's own label and apart from a couple of cross-posts by djvaso, I can't find any substantial reference to these releases, even on the archive's own site.

No biggie: I see really old films at festivals all the while that don't exist on IMDb and perhaps never will. Many aren't even that obscure; if it wasn't so bloody difficult to add or edit anything on that site, a lot more info would be forthcoming.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

If not, is there a credited director for these?

[djvaso]

I can't add anything substantial to Mr Reid's post. The short movies only have producer Dyoka Bogdanovich (Đoka Bogdanović) in the credits. They can be seen on-line here:

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Another question, are the soundtracks 2.0 mono, stereo, or surround?
As for the English subtitles, what do they translate? On screen text or intertitles?

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

if it wasn't so bloody difficult to add or edit anything on that site, a lot more info would be forthcoming.

True. I've added a few on IMDB such as "Tokyo Drifter 2" and some older Korean films, but it is a timeconsuming process.

It's just helpful if we have IMDB links for director names or any other credits. Although for compilations of old footage such as this it's unlikely to have a listing. When I entered Moving Images from Gosfilmofond (1935-1943), there was no IMDB link for any of the newsreel films so it was left blank. (I probably should review that disc here, Fascinating stuff!)

[djvaso]

I think the soundtrack is Dual Mono, English subtitles are for intertitles, the releases have Serbian/English booklets written by Aleksandar Saša Erdeljanović (Discs 1&3 4-page, Discs 2 2-page).

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Are the intertitles in Serbian?

[djvaso]

Intertitles are in Serbian, menu is in Serbian or English.

Added them, thanks you!
