From the classic era of the silent movie, and made in the early years of the Soviet Union, this film is part political melodrama part space romp. The crystalline Martian film sets are timeless – templates that would be used for visions of the future for decades to come. Struggles on Mars reflect the struggles in Russia at the time the film was made. This highly unusual reel has been dug out from the archive and will be aired specially for the festival. Contemporary experimental music masters Minima provide the soundtrack: ambient, atmospheric and electrifying – this is an audio-visual experience not to be missed!
