LITTLE FILM SOCIETY
Programme For October Eisenstein’s “Battle ship Potemkin,” one of the greatest and most influential of all films, is the October selection of the Little Film Society, to be shown tomorrow evening at Room 15 University of Canterbury (entrance Rolleston avenue). A dramatisation of a naval mutiny expanded into an epitome of the whole Russian Revolution, “Potemkin” contains the famous Odessa Steps sequence, which is always referred to in any textbook on films. Two contrasting art films in colour will comprise the first half—“ Drawings of Leonardo da Vinci,” a superb record of the royal academy’s da Vinci quincentenary exhibition (the largest collection of his work ever brought together), and “Rowlandson’s England,” in which life in England at the beginning of the 19th century is wittily and satirically evoked. Tomorrow’s screening will begin at 7.45 p.m.
