Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and collective; themes: crowd, public gathering, protest; style notes: montage of close-ups and wide shots, high-contrast black-and-white, static camera

A crowd of people is shown in close-up and wide shots, some holding umbrellas, gathered on steps and in a public square. No dialogue or on-screen text is present in the frames.

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.
