My colleague Prof. Steven P. Hill, who posted here both inquiries and
responses to queries, passed away a few days ago. He taught Russian and
East European cinema in the Slavic Department at the University of
Illinois, interviewed Russian film pioneers for Film Culture in the
1970s, and passing of Steven was also instrumental in getting the
University of Illinois film archive started back in the 1960s. Here are
an obituary and a memorial article:
