Turksib
Director: Viktor Turin
Russia, 1928, 1 hour 18 mins
With the Bronnt Industries Kapital trio performing live.
Prepare to be amazed by an astounding combination of glorious images and a sparkling soundtrack specially composed and performed by Bronnt Industries Kapital. A masterpiece of scenario and editing, the hugely influential documentary Turksib is the tale of the race to build a railway to connect Turkestan and Siberia. Its a symphony of beautifully composed images – of cotton and camels, desert sands and mountain torrents, of the savage wilderness tamed by the heroic labour of man. In one of the most thrilling sequences nomads race with the ‘Iron Horse’ as it cuts through the desert, driven forward by the beat of BIK’s brilliant score which draws upon pastoral melodies, Central Asian-style drones, and propulsive drum rhythms. This is a unique event that shouldn’t be missed by anyone with the slightest interest in film.
