First Printer Ivan Fedorov

1950 · 45 min

A solemn, talky historical drama that feels like a staged lesson on progress and persecution, with little action but a persistent sense of threat.

Overview
A historical biographical film about the life of Ivan Fedorov, founder of the first printing press in Russia. Printed books published during the reign of Ivan the Terrible seemed like witchcraft. Fedorov was accused of heresy.
