Everybody knows Battleship Potemkin and October, but Sergei Eisenstein‘s final film from 1929 has been rather overshadowed.

An expressionist experiment in montage, The General Line, also known as Old and New, follows a sturdy peasant woman (Marfa Lapkina) who tries to lead her village out of the poverty of pre-Soviet life and towards the ideal of collectivism. South West Silents presents this newly restored digital print in collaboration with Lobster Films Paris. There’s live piano accompaniment by John Sweeney.
