Revolution encapsulates a momentous period in the history of Russia and the Russian Avant-Garde. Drawing on the collections of major Russian institutions, contributions from contemporary artists and curators, the film brings the artists of the Russian Avant-Garde to life.
Revolution tells the stories of artists like Chagall, Kandinsky, Malevich and others - pioneers who flourished in response to the Utopian challenge of building a New Art for a New World, only to be broken after 15 short years. The film features paintings previously banned and masterpieces, which rarely leave Russia.
