October (Ten Days that Shook the World)

The sound of boots echoing on the marble stairs of the Winter Palace heralds that pivotal moment when the tsarist regime was overthrown. As Sergei Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov capture the anger and hope in the streets of Petrograd through their lens, the revolution abruptly alters the course of history. The dust of the streets and the resolute determination of the masses, spreading in wave after wave, reflect the spirit of the era on the silver screen through the aesthetic of Soviet realism. This silent film traces the journey of a people taking their destiny into their own hands and striving to establish a new order along the cobblestone streets.
