Real Institute returns with their usual unusual alternative film nights.

Eisenstein's film about an episode in the Russian Revolution is one of the most famous films of all time and still one which surprisingly few people have actually seen. What starts as a protest strike when the battleship crew are given rotten meat for dinner ends in a riot. The sailors raise the red flag and try to ignite the revolution in their home port Odessa...

Complete with the wry wit of our resident compere Bedwyr Williams and the usual ‘real adverts’ and really scrumptious refreshments.
