With Fé\;lix Balderas\, Sara Garcí\;a\, Martí \;n Herná\;ndez\nUS/USSR/Mexico 1931-32\, 35mm\, b/w\, 88 min. Russi an with English subtitles\nIn Los Angeles in 1930\, after his attempts to make a film in Hollywood had come to naught\, Eisenstein found in author S inclair Lewis a patron for a proposed project in Mexico. The film was mean t to present a historical pageant of Mexico in several episodes\, from the pre-Colombian era to the aftermath of the 1910 Revolution. Shooting progr essed off and on for most of 1931\, but the production was pre-empted by S talin's demand that Eisenstein return to Mexico and by Lewis's withdrawal of funding. Decades later\, after Eisenstein's death\, his frequent collab orator Gregori Alexandrov used the existing footage and Eisenstein's scena rio to assemble an approximation of the film\, albeit without the proposed climactic section depiction of the 1910 Revolution\, which was never shot . The result provides a fascinating glimpse at what might have been Eisens tein's greatest work\, a remarkable collage of fiction\, documentary and e thnography replete with riveting imagery that presents Mexico itself as a montage of the archaic and the modern.\n\nPreceded by BEZHIN MEADOW (1937\ , 35mm\, b/w\, 31 min)\n\nStart time: 7:00 pm DTSTART:20120521T000000 DTEND:20120521T000000 LOCATION: SUMMARY:Que Viva Mexico!
