Catch a rare screening of Alexander Nevsky in London

Don’t miss the chance to see a rare 35mm screening of Sergei Eisenstein’s Alexander Nevsky at the Regent Street Cinema on 7 July.

Released in 1938, Alexander Nevsky represents the beginning of Eisenstein’s foray into sound film, and is notable for its incredible score by Sergei Prokofiev. It depicts the attempted 13th century invasion of Novgorod by the Teutonic Knights of the Holy Roman Empire and their eventual defeat by Prince Alexander, known in popular culture as Alexander Nevsky.

The film will be introduced by composer and DJ Gabriel Prokofiev, the grandson of Sergei Prokofiev, and Eisenstein expert Ian Christie.

The screening will take place on Thursday 7 July at 7.30pm. Tickets can be purchased here.
