Evreinov's "Storming of the Winter Palace"

[Daria Khitrova]

Complete footage (about 20 minutes) is in Krasnogorsk film archive (RGAKFD).
As far as I know, it was never commercially released.  
Best, Daria Khitrova

Dear Edyta,
I have sent this information to Kathleen Tobin as well, but for those others
among you who are interested, footage of Evreinov's Storming is available
online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXv3MmpTXEE
beginning at about 5:00.  There is lots of other rare Soviet theatre footage
in this surprisingly wonderful collection of clips, including Mikhoels as
Lear,  and scenes from Vakhtangov's  Princess Turandot, Meyerhold's Les and
Revizor, and Tairov's Hairy Ape.  
Best,
Dassia Posner

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!
