As we approach the centennial of the October revolution, the international and multilingual online journal La Furia Umana is publishing a special dossier looking at Russian media creation in the period between 1912 (the year of A Slap in the Face of Public Taste) and 1930 (the year of Mayakovsky's suicide), with a concentration on the Russian avant-garde in film and the plastic arts. 
Topics for this dossier might include but are not limited to: 

- overviews of the central themes in artistic and media production 
- articles in which there is a connection between different media in Russia 
- texts that focus on a single medium, but foregrounding the avant-gardes around this media 
- the direct and long-term effects of the revolution on film and the arts 
- texts dedicated to filmmakers, artists and critics at the forefront of experimental media production. 
- the avant-garde in the political field 
- the avant-garde in the domain of criticism 
- iterations of this epoch in later work (Groupes Medvedkine, Groupe Dziga Vertov, etc.)
