Events & Calendars Russian Film Series: "In Spring"

Two screenings, at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.

Mikhail Kaufman, 1929; 60 min.

Mikhail Kaufman's In Spring, much admired by the contemporaries but seldom seen abroad in original form, can be considered something of a companion piece to the legendary film The Man with the Movie Camera, directed by Kaufman’s brother Dziga Vertov. A gorgeous meditation on daily life in the town and the rural countryside, it portrays the springtime devastation of rain and flood-- preliminaries to rebirth --making spring a metaphor for revolution.
