Earth by Greg Nieuwsma and Antonello Perfetto

Oleksandr Dovzhenko's film Earth ("Zemlya") is widely considered the pinnacle of Soviet silent cinema, and is frequently included in lists of the best films ever made. The film is director Dovzhenko's tribute to collectivisation in Ukraine; made in 1930, the film draws heavily on folk art, featuring idyllic imagery of rippling fields of grain, orchards and livestock. The film pits collectivists against traditional kulaks (landowners) who rejected the Five Year Plan.

This album represents a new score, composed and performed by Greg Nieuwsma and Antonello Perfetto. The new score brings a fresh contemporary sensibility to the film, introducing it to a new audience.

The film itself is widely available on Youtube and other services; for your listening convenience, as well as CD we are offering this album on DVD with a complimentary copy of Dovzhenko's Earth.
