The first film directed by the great Soviet filmmaker is a comedy of vignettes showing chess-crazed Muscovites during the time of a grand master championship.
A special screening of classic silent short 16 mm films interspersed with "Soundies," campy and risqué 1940s prototypes of today's music videos.
