Live Film Score @ Cinefamily next Wednesday!

11/24 @ 8:00pm / SERIES: SILENT WEDNESDAYS
Arsenal
(W/ New Live Score By Brian LeBarton!)

Multi-instrumentalist and electronic music whiz Brian LeBarton, who for years has been the close collaborative partner of one Beck Hansen, and who recently co-composed/recorded the music of Sex Bob-omb (the fake band in Scott Pligrim Vs. The World) comes to the Cinefamily to bring his unique aural vision to classic films from the silent era! Russian silent cinema often channeled the struggles of a perpetually put-upon people through a staggering avant-garde filter, in order to sneak its message past the Party — and Alexander Dovzhenko’s Arsenal stands tall alongside Eisenstein’s Battleship Potempkin and Pudovkin’s Motheras one of the great metaphorical pieces of its era. The first film in Dovzhenko’s “Ukraine Trilogy”,Arsenal charts the incredible upheaval of Russian society as the tumult of WWI gave way to the Russian Revolution in the 1910s, all seen through the eyes of a lowly Ukranian soldier who participates in barricading himself and his fellow troops in a munitions plant, as Kiev falls around him into Bolshevik hands. One can see how Dovzhenko’s time spent in Berlin throughout the ‘20s influenced him greatly, as Arsenal’s German Expressionism-influenced visuals add layers upon layers of beautifully surreal touches to one of the great anti-war films.
Dir. Aleksandr Dovzhenko, 1929, digital presentation, 70 min.
