Ykpauha 5 movie projector

Ykpauha 5, a 16 mm Russian film projector. The projector was used in the MÍR (Icelandic-Soviet Cultural Relations) cinema. The association used the machine to show cultural films from the Soviet Union, such as War and Peace and other films, mainly educational films. The Ykpauha brand was not widely used locally, except within MÍR. The projector came to the Film Archive in 2006, along with other equipment, theater seats, and a spare parts inventory from the MÍR cinema. A significant amount of Soviet promotional material was dubbed in Icelandic. It was remarkable that the material was dubbed by a Russian man who spoke Icelandic fluently, despite never having been to Iceland. The Film Archive has a considerable amount of material from MÍR, but the largest single film collection in the archive comes from them.
