Sergei Eizenshtein’s “Battleship Potyomkin,” a 1925 silent black-and-white movie hailed as a masterpiece of world cinema, will return to theaters next year, the film industry news web site
TheFilmStage.com reported Thursday.
The film is currently being restored and will have missing shots and an original orchestral score by Edmund Meisel from 1926 added. The movie, which tells a story of a mutiny on a tsar-era warship, will have a limited theatrical run in the United States, the report said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
