The innovative short film Beginning depicts the monumental events following the 1917 October Revolution in Russia. In its images of mass mobilisation, parades and battles, the film shows the desperation and hopes of a century in violent transformation. Peleshian uses quick cuts, coupled with a precise and powerful soundtrack, to create an incessant audio-visual rhythm that formally mirrors the energy inherent in the dreams of a new society.
