The Homeland of Electricity (Short Film by Larisa Shepitko - 1967)

This is a 1967 short film by Larisa Shepitko. Audio in Russian with English subtitles.

Intended for an omnibus film about the October Revolution, this 1967 short follows a young engineer as he tries to bring irrigation to a parched village. Originally banned for its themes of individualism, the film is a powerful and striking example of Shepitko's work that has thankfully been restored.
