MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA Don't miss an extremely rare opportunity to see this groundbreaking silent film paired with a live score performed by the group, Montopolis. Revered as a visual masterpiece, this 1929 Ukrainian film gives historical context to the current Russian invasion and lays bare the costs of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe. Man with a Movie Camera was commissioned by the Soviet regime under Joseph Stalin to showcase the might of industry in the cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa. Montopolis' score transforms a nationalistic propaganda film into a celebration of the human spirit. Introduction and Q&A with Raymond De Luca, Assistant Professor of Russian Studies, University of Kentucky. SUN, SEP 18 @ 3:30PM | $12 / $7.50 Kentucky Theatre members |
