Mezhrabpom-Film

Mezhrabpomfilm (Russian: Межрабпомфильм), from the word film, and the Russian acronym for Workers International Relief or Workers International Aid (Russian: Международная рабочая помощь), was a German-Russian film studio, formerly Mezhrabpom-Rus, from 1922-1936. The studio was formed from the joining together in 1922 of Moisei Aleinikov, a Russian producer, and Willi Münzenberg, a German communist. The studio was set up in Moscow, with headquarters in Berlin. After producing around 600 films the "international experiment was brutally ended eleven and fourteen years later by Hitler's and Stalin's regimes."

Classics of revolutionary cinema, such as Vsevolod Pudovkin's The End of St. Petersburg (Konez Sankt Peterburga (1927)) were made by Mezhrabpom-Film. Other significant films made by the studio include Storm over Asia (1928), Boris Barnet's The Girl with a Hatbox (Devushka s korobkoy (1927), Yakov Protazanov's Aelita (1924), Margarita Barskaya's Torn Shoes (Rvanye Bashmaki 1933), a drama about children set in Germany when the Nazis assumed power, and Aleksandr Andriyevsky's early science-fiction film Loss of Sensation (Gibel Senstsii 1935). The Soviet Union's first animated films, and first sound film, Nikolai Ekk's Road to Life (1931) were made by the studio.
