Kuldämblik (in German "The Gold Spider" ) is the title of an Estonian musical film from 1930.
Movie
Directed by Boris Jaanikosk (1897–1976). The Estonian film pioneer Konstantin Märska (1896–1951) was responsible for the camera and the sound recordings . The screenplay came from the Estonian writer Hendrik Saar ( pseudonym Kivilombi Ints , 1893-1944?).
Kuldämblik is considered the first Estonian attempt at a sound film. Speech and singing for the experimental “song and sound film” were recorded on records that could be played in the cinema. Olga Torokoff-Tiedeberg and Aleksander Arder , among others, sing in the film .
The short film premiered on March 16, 1930. However, it did not meet the technical and financial expectations placed on it. The film is considered lost.
The pub scenes that make up the bulk of the action, as well as the alcohol and tobacco advertisements, called on the conservative Estonian Ministry of Education. The film received a warning from the authorities "Not suitable for young people". The ban on viewers under the age of 16 detered many cinema owners from being included in the cinema program.
