Bolshevo House of Cinematographers, Film artists retreat in Bolshevo, Russia.
The House of Filmmakers 'Bolshevo' was a three-story Stalinist Empire style structure situated on the banks of the Klyazma River in Korolev's Pervomaysky district. The property featured residential quarters, workspaces, and a surrounding park where filmmakers could retreat while developing their projects.
The building was constructed in 1934 on the grounds of the former Prove-Filippov estate and initially functioned as a creative laboratory for Soviet filmmakers under Boris Shumyatsky's leadership. Over decades it remained a site where significant Soviet films were developed before eventually falling into disrepair following the Soviet era.
This building served as a working space where Soviet filmmakers gathered to create and collaborate on their projects. It was closely tied to the production of important films that shaped Soviet cinema and became known in artistic circles for this connection.
The site is not accessible for visits as the building was demolished in 2020. Those interested in its history can explore Soviet film archives and documentaries that preserve details about the former property and its role in cinema.
The property's grounds contained hazel trees that inspired animators when they created the film 'The Plasticine Crow'. These botanical details became part of the artistic inspiration the site offered to its residents.
