Our Voices of Revolution: Russia 1917 series opens with the live screening of a silent film that tells an iconic story from the first Russian Revolution in 1905. Battleship Potemkin, Sergei Eisenstein’s 1925 masterpiece of film-making and Soviet propaganda, portrays mutiny in the Imperial navy. Its most dramatic sequence is one of the most famous in cinema: the massacre at the Odessa Steps with its culminating scene of the falling perambulator.
Accompanying the film, Vladimir Ashkenazy conducts a special arrangement of music from the symphonies of Shostakovich.
