Catalogue Note
Kozyntsev was another founding member of FEKS. The 1922 performance of Marriage directed by Kozyntsev and Trauberg (subtitled A Trick in Three Acts) was one of their most important achievements. The duo would go on to produce a number of innovative films together under the aegis of this eccentric movement and would influence the course of international cinema during this period.
