from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noé Bloch , also Noë Bloch ( Russian Ной Маркович Блох ; * 1875 as Noé Markowitsch Bloch in St. Petersburg , Russian Empire ; † July 31, 1937 in Paris , France ) was a Russian producer in German and French film.

Life

Bloch came to Western Europe with the wave of emigration of Belarusian artists as a result of the October Revolution in 1920, where he and his colleague Jacques N. Ermolieff founded the production company Les Films Albatros in France . After Ermolieff traveled on to Berlin , he took over the management of this company together with Alexander Kamenka in 1922.

In 1924 Bloch left the Albatros to set up the production company Ciné-France-Films. With this company, Bloch put together some film classics in the mid-1920s, including Abel Gances Napoleon , the novel The Courier of the Tsar from the hand of the Russian émigré Viktor Tourjansky and Casanova , a production by the exile Alexander Wolkoff with the Tsarist film star Iwan Mosjukin in the title role. In 1927 Bloch and his Russian colleague Gregor Rabinowitsch founded the originally purely French production company Ciné-Alliance, which, however, only produced three films.

Noé Bloch first came into contact with German film in November 1927, when shooting for the Franco-German film Secrets of the Orient began. There Bloch took over the production management together with Rabinowitsch. Bloch then moved to Berlin and continued to work with Rabinowitsch, this time on the pay of the UFA . In 1931 Rabinowitsch and Bloch separated. While Rabinowitsch continued to produce in Germany until 1935, Bloch returned to Paris in 1932 and continued his production there until autumn 1935. He died in Paris in the summer of 1937.
