Remembering Sergei Eisenstein on his 120th birthday. Screening of Movie “Battleship Potemkin (1925)” This Sergei Eisenstein’s movie is an all time masterpiece. It is based on the mutiny of Russian sailors against their tyrannical superiors on the battleship Potemkin during the Revolution of 1905. Although this movie is an agitational and revolutionary movie, it is also recognised for its pictorial beauty and great elegance of form. The movie is symmetrically made in five acts. Eisenstein was pioneer in the theory of dialectical montage as he believed that the meaning in motion pictures is generated by the collision of opposing shots. The agitational appeal of Battleship Potemkin was such that it became nearly irresistible when it was released in 1926. After the screening of the movie, there will be a discussion on it in which all the viewers are welcome to participate.
