Notes from Slavic Quick Cataloging, Pt. 8

Ukrainian book, on cinematography, with a page at the beginning from the sponsor of the printing– Yakitoria Japanese kitchen. Yakitoria – tvoia territoria! [Yakitoria – your territory!]

Heated media catologuing discussion: A video which is three episodes of the 1950s television show Rin-Tin-Tin, spliced together an rereleased as a film, called ‘Rin-Tin-Tin, Hero of the West.” Is this categorized as television, or film? Is it an adaptation if the television broadcasts were in black and white, but the film is in color? Was it filmed in color or in black and white and colorized later?

As the internet research progresses, we learn that the official Rin-Tin-Tin website lists filmography by dog.

Just saw a book of pretty darn amazing Slovak photography. My supervisor tells me that Eastern Europe has good photography in general, but the Czechs are the best. Haven’t seen any Czech photo books yet, but I got the cover from Majstori Hrvatske fotografije [Masters of Croatian Photography] which also had some beautiful pieces in it.

Actually, the cover isn’t very cool, it just has geometric designs on it, but I’m kind of collecting Slavic text on various book covers, for a project I haven’t figured out. Some sort of collage project, I suppose.
