Oktyabr -- Ten Days That Shook the World

Join us for this film about the October revolution! This 1927 film by Sergei Eisenstein vividly portrays the insurrection that had occurred in Russia only 10 years earlier.  Eisenstein broke with the then standard conventions and techniques and created "dialectical montage" to portray these earth shaking events. His innovations in cinema were forged to tell the story of how a revolutionary people and its leadership, Lenin and the Bolshevik Party, made history and brought the first socialist state into being.
