BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN - DIRECTED BY SERGEI EISENSTEIN
Tuesday, March 29 at 7:30pm
Members $9 / Public $13
Live Musical Accompaniment by Ben Model on the Cinema's Miditzer Theater Organ!
A landmark in 20th-century cinema, as well as arguably Sergei Eisenstein's greatest
work, Battleship Potemkin is a revolutionary film in every sense. It tells the story
of the 1905 mutiny on the Russian ship Prince Potemkin, pride of the Tsar's navy.
Banned in many countries, including Nazi Germany, Britain and France, the film was
commissioned to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the failed 1905 revolution. The scene
of the massacre on the Odessa Steps, an incident that Eisenstein invented, cemented
Potemkin's enduring reputation. This magnificently edited sequence is one of the most
enduring in all cinema, and homage has been paid to the scene by artists as different as
Sam Peckinpah and Francis Bacon. Soviet Union, 1925, 75 min., b/w, 35mm
