Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and monumental; themes: collective action, struggle, historical drama; style notes: high-contrast black and white, dramatic framing with dark foreground silhouettes, wide-angle shots emphasizing scale

The scene shows a ship's rigging and sails against water, followed by a view of a crowd ascending a wide stone staircase. No dialogue or on-screen text is present.

The record

A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
