Trio of silent films directed by Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein. 'Strike' (1924) gives an allegorical account of a strike on the part of the factory workers in 1912 Russia that is brutally suppressed by the authorities. Eisenstein combines visual montage, caricature and disturbing slaughterhouse sequences to highlight the brutality of the police. 'Battleship Potemkin' (1925) recounts the Krondstadt Navy mutiny at Odessa, which sparked off the 1905 Russian Revolution. As a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the revolution, Eisenstein's masterpiece boasts inventive, rapid-cutting camera work (the film contains 1,300 separate shots) and one of the most famous sequences in the history of film: the massacre on the Odessa Steps. Commissioned to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Russian Revolution, 'October' (1927) uses montage and a documentary style to present the events of the Bolshevik uprising in 1917.
