Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and agitated; themes: collective action, rebellion, solidarity; style notes: high-contrast black and white, tight close-ups on faces and hands, dynamic composition emphasizing collective action

A crowd of men in dark clothing and caps is shown from behind and in close-up, followed by a shot of a hand gripping a rope or rigging, then a shot of raised fists. 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.
