As a followup to Alex Mackenzie's query "Seeking Rare Films" I don't have an
answer but I do have a further question:
 
What happened to the various distribution companies that made Soviet films
available in the U.S. throughout the 60s and 70s (e.g., Artkino,
Sovexportfilm, etc.)?  A number of the films, including the noteworthy
Ordinary Fascism, seem to be unavailable at this time.  Anyone know whether
these libraries are handled by specific distributors, or whether they have
been "orphaned"?
 
Thanks.
