Yakov Protazanov, Mezhrabpom-Rus, 1924, from Aleksey Tolstoy. Engineer Los, jealous in NEP Moscow, fires a signal at Mars and dreams himself into a revolt there; Aelita, the queen, has been watching Earth through a telescope. Alexandra Exter and Isaac Rabinovich dressed Mars in Constructivist geometry while Moscow stayed a courtyard and a staircase. Gosfilmofond holds the materials most restorations start from. Science fiction as a jealous husband's nap, and a design show the studios could afford once.
