Sergei Eisenstein's Silent Masterpiece Coming to River Street Theatre
The River Street Theatre (RST), a project of The Park Theatre, will be presenting Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 silent film STRIKE at the theatre for one showing on Sunday, July 9 at 2pm.
This Russian film is a government-commissioned celebration of the unrealized 1905 Bolshevik revolution. Directed by Sergei M. Eisenstein (1898-1948), the acclaimed creator of the cinema classic Battleship Potemkin, STRIKE's story is set in motion by a series of outrages and humiliations perpetrated on the workers of a metalworks plant.
The film was recently restored by the Cinémathèque de Toulouse. STRIKE is presented with titles in English and a musical score. RottenTomatoes.com gives it a FRESH rating of 100%. UK's Film4 calls it "A breathtaking essay on class conflict, not for its politics, but for its humanity and the imaginative brilliance of its director."
Tickets are $8 (seniors/military/students/teachers $7). Due to the intimate nature of the RST, it is advised to purchase tickets in advance. Tickets can be purchased at riverst.org/calendar or by calling OvationTix at 1-866-811-4111.
The River Street Theatre is located in downtown Jaffrey, New Hampshire at 6 River Street. The River Street Theatre is sponsored by: Grove Street Fiduciary, Coca-Cola, the Board of Trustees of the Park Theatre, Janet S. Grant, Betty Locke, Owen Houghton and the James F. & Fernande Kelly Charitable Trust.
