"Storm Over Asia"
 
   The classic 1928 silent Russian film by Vsevolod Pudovkin, "Storm Over Asia - Heir of Genghis Khan", has been called a "Formalist masterpiece."  Presented here, original and uncensored, it is accompanied by celebrated Tuvian fusion throat-singing sensation, Yat-Kha.  Produced by Marek Pytel, the digitally formatted projection together with the live musical backdrop creates a brand new context for both form and substance.  Old and new go head to head, politics crash into religion … dazzling … poignant … epic.
   "You can be confident that something as bizarre sounding as the combination of a 1928 silent film with Tuvan folk music will make a great night out. The music is provided by throat-singing sensation Yat-Kha, whose guttural incantations and traditional instrumentation provide the backing for Vsevolod Pudovkin's much-referenced but rarely seen "Storm Over Asia." Yat-Kha's appearance is a rare treat for lovers of Eastern music, but they are far from folk purists and have even been known to drop the odd Black Sabbath riff into their set."
