Published by Sedma Sila, Part 2

Last week, Ivo Blom made a selection for EFSP of Sedma Sila cards with European stars. Sedma Sila was a postcard publisher from Beograd (Beograd), then Yugoslavia, now Serbia. It published postcards of mostly 1950s European and American stars. The pictures were distributed by Morava Film or IOM, located in Belgrade. Between the late 1940s and mid-1960s Morava was an important Yugoslavian distributor of American films in Yugoslavia, and less so of French, British and Italian films. In 2003 the initiative to declare Morava Film bankrupt was taken and the firm was officially declared bankrupt in 2006. Today, a second post with 25 Sedma Sila postcards, now with pictures of Hollywood stars. Take a good look. Some names of the stars are hardly recognisable.
