7:00 pm: Strike (1925) (Stachka) - Closing Night

Silent with live musical accompaniment by Andrew Earle Simpson

Trouble is brewing at a large factory in Tsar-era Russia: laborers are overworked and underpaid, and when a man falsely accused of theft kills himself, his comrades will not stand for it anymore. Sergei Eisenstein - then an up-and-coming theater director, later an eccentric genius whose name would become synonymous with Soviet filmmaking - was only 26 when he directed STRIKE. His startling feature film debut broke every convention of the time to create a revolutionary cinema for the new country. DIR-SCR Sergei Eisenstein; SCR Grigoriy Aleksandrov, Ilya Kravchunovsky, Valerian Pletnev. USSR, 1925, bandw, 89 min. Silent with English intertitles.
