Anniversary of the Revolution

Probably the first ever feature length documentary was made by pioneering filmmaker Dziga Vertov between February 1917 and October 1918 as he filmed events and protagonists of the Russian Revolution in its first year. The film, lost since 1921, was recently discovered in archives and painstakingly pieced together by film historians Nikolai Izvolov and team, with support from the Russian State Documentary Film and Photo Archive.

First shown at the IDFA documentary film festival in Amsterdam in 2018, on the 100^th anniversary of the October Revolution, it premieres in the UK in 2019.

Silent, with Russian and English subtitles.
