Imagining October

A short (27 minutes) made for the London Film Festival in 1984, and shot in October that year when Jarman was invited to Moscow for a screening of The Tempest in a low-budget festival. The film blends this dream-like footage with specifically political sloganeering: "The film could have been called Imaging October, but I decided on Imagining October. It was filmed in October, about an October revolution, Eisenstein's film was called October: these were the connections."
