UC Berkeley Library has set up a trial of Seans Digital Archive (1990-2020). Seans is a well-known Russian journal dedicated to Film Studies. The UC Berkeley’s registered students, staff, and faculty can access the digital archive here.  The trial will last from 12 January 2022 through 11 February 2022. The vendor description: The Seans digital archive contains all available published issues from 1990, with an additional year’s worth of content added annually. The archive offers scholars the most comprehensive collection available for this title and features full page-level digitization and complete original graphics. The archive has searchable text and is cross-searchable with numerous other East View digital resources.

Each issue of Seans is devoted to a specific theme. Examples of past themes include:

• Based on true events (Основан на реальных событиях)
• Back in the USSR
• Sources of the impossible (Источники невозможного)
• Speak, Memory
• It’s sad (Это печально)
• Everything is going according to plan (Все идет по плану)
• Faust
• Le tour de France
• Russian Cabinet of Curiosities (Русская кунсткамера)

Alternatively, the Seans Digital Archive is also available on the web at no cost here: https://seance.ru/magazine/

However, the archive that is on the web is not cross-searchable with other digital content that Eastview offers.
