Film report on fish canning, in the pure Pathé Brothers style. Picturesque Russia from 1908!
Commentaries and bibliography
A Fish Factory in Astrakhan is part of the Pathé Frères series “Picturesque Russia,” typical of their efficient
documentary style. The company had established a Moscow equipment and sales office in 1904, which also
rented their French-made films to Russia’s burgeoning cinema network. It was the emergence of Drankov as the
first self-declared indigenous producer that prompted Pathé to start production in Russia in February 1908.
