Screening of We the Living
Ayn Rand published her startling first novel We the Living in April, 1936 making this screening the 75th Anniversary of the publication. The film takes places in the chaotic years following the Russian Revolution and follows the lives of three individuals who seek to defy an oppressive, state controlled society. Beautiful, strong willed Kira ( Alida Vila) is torn between two men ( Rossano Brazzi and Fosco Giachetti). Their love affairs, conflicts and heroic struggles for the right to live their own lives are at the heart of We The Living. Rand herself described the novel as " the closest I will ever come to writing an autobiography," and in it she begins to outline her philosophy of individualism which would become so clearly articulated in later works such as Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead.
