Strike on 16mm with the Nyback Archive

Dir. Sergei Eisenstein (1924) | USSR | 95 min | 16mm

Programmed by Clara

*SINGLE SCREENINGS ONLY*

Filmmaker Sergei Eisentstein said to imagine a cinema which is not dominated by the dollar. A cinema industry where one man's pocket is not filled at other people's expense; which is not for the pockets of two or three people but for the heads and hearts of 150 million people. Every motion picture affects heads and hearts, but as a rule motion pictures are not produced especially for heads and hearts. Generally motion pictures are turned out for the benefit of two or three pockets; only incidentally do they affect the heads and hearts of millions.

Witness his first feature film Strike on 16mm, which is a stylized account of pre-revolutionary Russia and the brutal repression that the working class faced. Accompanied by a shorts program that showcases a union report from the 60s , Soviet Bloc animations, and a film about how workers around the world have cut out middle management. A zine discussing the context of Eisenstein’s bourgeois upbringing, the art movement he was a part of in Russia, and revolutionary thoughts on culture and film will be present and free.
