Potemkin is the film every montage lecture is built on, and it almost never plays with musicians in the room. George Sarah's new arrangement puts a string quartet, a vocal quartet and electronics against the Odessa Steps, in a single-screen 1920s house on Retro Row. It happens once.
What to expect
A silent feature with a live ensemble performing a new score in front of the screen. Doors at 7 p.m., film about half an hour later, in Art Theatre's single auditorium.
