The Northern Lights (1925)
Directed by Nikolai Foregger; script by Grigory Gricher-Cherikover and Boris Tchaikovsky; camera by Albert Kyun and Leonid Drankov; movie poster by Alexei Zelensky.
Described as a “social drama in seven parts,” this unsurviving film describes the lives of political exiles sentenced to hard labour in the goldmines of northern Kamchatka between 1915 and 1922.
