Festi in C( THE RUSSIAN FILM FESTIVAL By TERRY DUGAS FILM PREVIEW During the upcoming week, the Carolina Community will host the most important cinema event in the history of the University. I am referring to the Russian Film Festival at the Russell House Theatre, spon sored by the University Union. The Festival covers the pre Stalin era with a complete thoroughness as the propagan distic films of Eisenstein and Pudovkin are paired with the mystical allegories of Dovzhenko and then closes with a uniquely "un-Russian" film made in 1964 by Parajanov. The Festival opens on Tues- 1 day night with Strike and Ivan the Terrible, Part II, the first and last films made by the greatest director in the history of the cinema, Sergei Eisens tein. Strike, with Welles' Citi zen Kane, ranks as the most impressive directorial debut in Diplomat to Dr. Paul M. Kattenburg, a professor in the International Studies department, will speak on the Vietnam peace treaty at 3 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 8, in the Russell House Commons Room. This program is being spon sored by the Commons Room Committee of the University Union. Kattenburg is an American diplomat with twenty-two years' Foreign Service experi ence in Asia, Europe, South America and the Department of State in Washington, D. C. He was given considerable pub licity at the time of the release MEXICAN-A , WORK NEED YOL Three thousand workiers have had to face intimidation along with facing armed guards al They are trying to win justice and dignity on protesting against the Farah Company, the is world, and its unfair labor practices. SHOW THEM I DON'T BUY FAI Student Committee on Justic val is gre rolina hi cinema history. It is a kaleidos copic display of camera technique using every conceiv able type of montage, but it is also an expression of Eisen stein's dedication to the Soviet Revolution's ideal of the masses as hero. Eisenstein made the film to educate and its lesson is clear ..."workers can get social justice only through total revolution." Eisenstein's final film Ivan. Part II is a "tragic portrayal of a man's thwarted efforts to unify his country...." Although made in 1946, the film was banned by the Soviet govern ment until 1958 because of its "anti-historical and anti-artistic viewpoint...its failure to por tray contemporary realism." The film contains the only color sequence ever filmed by Eisenstein, and it makes one regret that he died without being able to exploit this new device. Wednesday night shows us the works of Eisenstein's con temporaries, Earth and Arsenal by Dovzhenko and End of St. Petersburg by Pudovkin. Dovzhenko is not as well known as the other two directors but speak on \ of the Pentagon Papers as an early dissenter on some aspects of U. S. Policy in Vietnam. Kattenburg was born in Brus sels, Belgium. He received his Ph. D. in 1949 from Yale Univer sity in International Relations. During 1950-56, Dr. Kat tenburg served in various capacities connected with Southeast Asia, and travelled widely in that area. From 1956 59 he served in the U. S. Embassy in Manila and was transferred to Germany where he served until 1962. In 1966 he was assigned as Deputy Chief of the U. S.

They depend upon an expres sion of feeling rather than the tangeable. "The extraordinary dependance on images and sym bolism...can no more be fully translated into concrete mean ings than the imagry and rhythm and color of a poem." "The End of St. Petersburg" was directed by Pudovkin to commemorate the Tenth Anniversary of the 1917 Revolution. He views the events from the focus of an individual family rather than the giant masses. Pudovkin was less concerned with technique in this film than with personal emotional response to an earth shattering event. The Russian Festival pro vides something for every taste, be you a cinemaphile who revels over an edit, a purist who enjoys the depths of acting, or a person who likes to be enter tained. It is the greatest cinema event ever to appear in South Carolina. 'iet peace Guyana, South America.
