Carpathian Ruthenia
Jaroslav Novotný / Czechoslovakia / 1930 / 44 min.
synopsis
A comprehensive guide to Carpathian Ruthenia on film, made by Jaroslav Novotný in 1930. The region's geography and famous moments of history are followed by a recourse into ethnography culminating in an endorsement of Czechoslovak statehood and its achievements in modernizing the country's easternmost rural region. Czechoslovakia has built schools and colleges here, and “trained stallions even learned to dance the quadrille.” This educational film highlights Carpathian Ruthenia's beauty and potential for development after years of Hungarian oppression.
