AELITA QUEEN OF MARS takes you from Moscow to Mars in one of the earliest full-length films about space travel directed by Yakov Protazanov. While seeing Russian life after the Revolution, the most notable part of the film remains its remarkable constructivist Martian sets and costumes. Their influence can be seen in a number of later films, including the Flash Gordon serials and Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. This screening will include music by Tedde Gibson on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ.

The film has a run time of 104 minutes. Pre-film introduction & post-film CineClub discussion hosted by special guest Emalie Soderback, Co-Host of Scarecrow Video's "Viva Physical Media." Curator & moderator Vicky Lee.
