END OF ST. PETERSBURG
Konyets Sankt-Peterburga

While visiting a relative in St. Petersburg, an uneducated peasant boy is swept up in the October revolution. This film was commissioned at the same time as Eisensteins’ october and although both films dealt with the same subject matter, Pudovkin offers the storming of the Winter Palace and the fall of Kerensky as seen through the boy’s eyes; personalizing an epic revolution.

Directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin. Script; Nathan Zarkhi. Photo; Anatoli Golovnya. Cast; Ivan Chuvelov, Vera Baranovskaya, A.P. Khristiakov, V. Obolenski.

STORM OVER ASIA
The Heir To Genghis Khan / Potomok Chingis-Khana

A nomadic fur-trapper claiming to be a direct heir to Genghis Khan, is installed as a puppet monarch by the occupying British interventionist forces in Mongolia. After the man becomes aware of his heritage he comes to view the British as the true oppressive enemy of his people and leads an insurrection.

“A film of great visual beauty, dynamic montage, humour and compassion, it was banned in the UK for some years because the British are portrayed as the baddies. It was the last great silent film by Pudovkin.”—Holt’s Foreign Film Guide.

Directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin. Script; Osip Brik. Photo; Anatoli Golovnya.Cast; Valerilnkizhinov, A.Dedintsev, V Tzoppl, Paulina Belinskaya.

MOTHER
Mat

The son of a worthless alcoholic father and a hardworking mother leads an illegal strike during the failed 1905 uprising. In an attempt to save her son, the mother inadvertently gives him away to the police, but gradually turns to communism after experiencing injustice and suffering.

“Pudovkin's first feature turns Maxim Gorky's rambling novel into a tightly constructed narrative. The film's emotional and visual impact has not diminished with time, nor has Baranovskaya's performance.”—Holt’s Foreign Film Guide.

Directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin. Script; Nathan Zarkhi, Vsevolod Pudovkin. Photo; Anatoli Golovnya. Cast; Vera Baranovskaya, A.P. Khristiakov, Nikolai Batalov, Ivan Koval-Samborski, Anna Zemtsova, Vsevolod Pudovkin.
