Berkeley Underground Film Society | Super 8 Movie Night (1928)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

October (Ten Days that Shook the World) (1928).  In documentary style, events in Petrograd are re-enacted from the end of the monarchy in February of 1917 to the end of the provisional government and the decrees of peace and of land in November of that year. Lenin returns in April.

Eisenstein used the film to further develop his theories of film structure, using a concept he described as “intellectual montage”, the editing together of shots of apparently unconnected objects in order to create and encourage intellectual comparisons between them. This presentation is an abridged, three-reel version of his work.
