from the FUKURO Ippei Collection      The National Film Center’s collection includes approximately 140 posters for Soviet films of the silent era, originally collected by FUKURO Ippei (1897–1971), a translator of Russian literature and a researcher of Soviet films.  Approximately 50 of the posters have been specially selected to present the revolutionary poster designs by the Stenberg Brothers and others in the 1920s.  The museum also plans to present screenings of films selected from the posters to be exhibited.
