about
To mark the 100th anniversary of cinematic masterpiece Battleship Potemkin, our friends at Sound! Soundtrack Film Festival have commissioned a brand new live score from Rory Friers – the guitarist and composer from And So I Watch You From Afar. We are delighted to bring this very special screening with a specially assembled live performance to Now Press Play.
In the 100 years since it first dazzled cinema audiences, Battleship Potemkin – directed by the legendary Sergei Eisenstein – has rarely been out of contention in those endless “greatest film ever made” lists.
Potemkin is more than just a film however, it’s revolution on screen depicting real naval mutiny that ignites a wave of rebellion, told in five gripping chapters.
Eisenstein’s groundbreaking editing and striking visual style still captivate, and the legendary Odessa Steps sequence—quoted, parodied, and imitated countless times—retains its jaw-dropping power.
Join us for a magical evening in the Black Box that celebrates the rare alchemy of classic cinema and incredible live performance.
