Filmshow: Red October

Filmshow: Red October

A new documentary film marking last year’s centenary of the Russian Revolution, directed and produced by Chris Reeves. The film is narrated by the actress Maxine Peake and explores the history of the revolution, its impact in Britain, cultural legacy and worldwide reach. It includes contributions from leading historians, Labour movement figures and international perspectives. The documentary film came out of last November’s Russian Revolution Centenary Conference, organised by the SCRSS and the Marx Memorial Library (MML). It uses striking visual resources from the archives of the SCRSS, MML and the Modern Records Centre, University of Warwick, and includes interviews with many of the speakers at last year’s conference. We hope to sell DVDs of the film at the event.
