Museum of the Cinema (Odessa, Ukraine)

The museum of cinema - a section of NUCU (National Union of Cinematography) is located on the Odessa film studio, in a historic mansion. Before the revolution, it belonged to Demidovoy – San-Donato family.

With more than 10,000 works on display, the museum is a testimony to the history and cinematic activity in Odessa. Here you can find historic materials, from the invention of cinema, to the postmodern, digital and avant garde.

A popular attraction, measuring 28 square metres, in one room – explores the invention of the cinema (two years prior to the Brothers Lumière!).

These films, by Joseph Timchenko, were produced for a survey and demonstration of FMV, and are the first in the Odessa film studios of «Mirograf», «Mizrakh», Borisova, Kharitonova and others. The Odessa film studio produced feature films until 1941, when the Soviet Union entered the second world war.

The shelves are filled to the ceiling with artifacts.

The Museum offers individual consultations for students. In recent years, students have written papers on the history of the cinema and the development of culture in the town of Odessa.

They have also researched and published an annotated, illustrated catalogue of the films of Odessa (from 1917 for 2004). A reference book is in preparation about all producers, works and workings on a studio. The Museum monographs are published from Kira Muratova, Vladimir Vysockiy, Vasiliy Reshetnikov, Ljudmila Popova.
