Russian Film Screening: Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin
Today, the Russian program will be showing Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin (Броненосец Потёмкин, 1926), from 5-6:30 p.m. in J.B. Hunt 207. The movie is about a failed rebellion by the sailors in Odesa (Ukraine; Odessa in Russian Empire).
If you have ever taken a film class, you have probably watched the infamous scene with the baby carriage going down the Odesa staircase while showing civilians being killed by the tsarist army. Einstein invented the montage, the technique of cutting and sequencing camera shots to help deliver and reinforce the idea of the movie. This is a silent movie with English subtitles.
Sandwiches will be served.
