Maggots and Men

Tuesday, April 20, 7:00pm, Spitzer Auditorium, Sanders 212

Filmmaker Cary Cronenwett will present a screening of "Maggots and Men," an experimental historical narrative, set in a mythologized, post-revolutionary Russia that re-imagines the story of the 1921 uprising of the Kronstadt sailors with a subtext of gender anarchy. In addition to being a thoughtful homage to Soviet silent era directors and artists of the Russian avant-garde, the film explores themes of re-invention, revolution, community, and corruption. A discussion with the filmmaker will follow. Maggots and Men was made possible by The Film Arts Foundation.
