DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Strike=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441593907=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2012-05-11=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2012-05-11=0D=0A=0D=0AEisenstein's first film follows the progress of a workers' strike at a factory in pre-Revolutionary Russia from worker dissatisfaction and organization to a violent denouement. True to Eisenstein's ideological resistance to the reliance on heroic individuals in mainstream cinema, the focus shifts among a number of groups: provocateurs, strikebreaking troops, an arrogant ruling class and of course the workers themselves. To keep his lesson in the rise of the proletariat entertaining, Eisenstein utilizes all number of attention-getting devices or “attractions” – physical action, heart-tugging melodrama, comic and grotesque exaggeration. Thus, Strike not only announces Eisenstein as a master of montage, it also serves as a valentine to his beloved forms of popular theater: the circus and the music hall.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:7:00 pm
