The first ten years of the existence of cinema in Russia were a time of great discoveries, but also unjustified hopes. You can now immerse yourself in the lively experience of the film recreation center of the last century, not only by watching the preserved films, but also looking at the cards of popular actresses, posters, trade advertising, candy wrappers and drawings from the magazine "Satyricon". In this book, two worlds collided for the first time: Russian pre -revolutionary cinema and Russian modernist caricature - two sides of the mirror of Russian life defeated by the revolution. The informal intimate syllable of the album"s “Mumb Empire” implies in the reader the desire not so much to get another encyclopedia with a set of facts, but to try to survive the atmosphere of imperial (gender) cultural life before and shortly after the statistically legendary 1913. The dumb cinema does not appear as a strange boring alien art, but as an intimate mood of modernist consciousness
