Sirens of Revolution
Based largely upon the sensational discovery of previously unknown footage and sound recordings locked in a fridge at the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis at Akademgorodok, this documentary goes deeply into the origins of Arseny Avraamov's legendary performance of Symphony of Sirens at Baku in 1922. Perhaps the largest sound based performance ever to have taken place, Avraamov redefined the scope and context of the contemporary understanding of the avant-garde and the political nature of art itself.
