The Original Meisel Orchestral Score Odessa — 1905. Enraged with the deplorable conditions on board the armored cruiser Potemkin, the ship’s loyal crew contemplates the unthinkable — mutiny. Seizing control of the Potemkin and raising the red flag of revolution, the sailors’ revolt becomes the rallying point for a Russian populace ground under the boot heels of the Czar’s Cossacks. When ruthless White Russian cavalry arrives to crush the rebellion on the sandstone Odessa Steps, the most famous and most quoted film sequence in cinema history is born. This is a silent film and is being screened in celebration of Silent Movie Day which takes place on September 29.

Battleship Potemkin is a historic 1925 silent film depicting a famous naval mutiny and the civilian rebellion that followed in Russia. This screening features the original orchestral score by Edmund Meisel to celebrate national Silent Movie Day. This event is best suited for teenagers and older students who are studying history or film, as the black-and-white imagery and historical violence may not hold the attention of younger children. Tickets are very budget-friendly at less than five dollars per person. You can find free parking in the deck behind the theater on Town Hall Plaza, and the lobby concessions offer affordable popcorn and local treats. It is a smart weekend pick for a quiet Sunday afternoon, offering a quick educational cultural experience right in the heart of downtown Cary where you can grab dinner afterward.
