[Edyta Bojanowska]

Dear SEELANGers,
I copy below a colleague's query.  She would be very grateful for any 
leads about the archival footage of Evreinov's 1920 "Storming of the 
Winter Palace."  Please send your replies directly to Kathleen Kennedy 
Tobin at kktobin at gmail.com.  Thank you very much,
Edyta Bojanowska

 From Kathleen Tobin:

I am seeking a copy of the 1920 archival footage of the Soviet Mass Spectacle "Storming of the Winter Palace", directed by Nicholas Evreinov.   I know the footage has been in private circulation but I am not certain if it was ever commercially released in any country.   Most internet video pertaining to this event is of course Eisenstein's work, often mislabeled as documentary footage; I think my best chance to see the real thing will be through academic channels.  I am building a puppet show of the re-enactment for performance in Brooklyn next month (March 2012) and am eager to see more evidence of  the original production.   The Lenfilm listing for this film is: ?????? ??????? ?????? 1920, ?/?, ?????. ????: ?????????. ???. ?????????? ??????? ????????.   Thanks for any leads!
