The End of St. Petersburg (with live musical accompaniment)

Vsevolod Pudovkin, Soviet Union, 1927, 90 mins

Created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution, the film tells the story of how the Bolshevik party came to power, but through the lens of a peasant boy’s journey from slave laborer to political revolutionary. Pudovkin employed a mix of classical and montage editing styles to produce a feeling of tension in the audience. The result is both a deeply emotional and stylized work of epic filmmaking. Featuring a live musical accompaniment by long-time FLEFF collaborators, Cloud Chamber Orchestra.

Cinemapolis: 8:30pm, Saturday April 12 - with live musical accompaniment by Cloud Chamber Orchestra and pre-screening introduction by Zenon Wasyliw
