Overview

The Cinematic Orchestra were commissioned to record the score to play as the opening event in Porto, Portugal's year as European Capital of Culture in 2001.

The first live performance took place in the Coliseu do Porto theatre in May 2000 as part of that year's Porto Film Festival, and was met with a standing ovation from the audience of more than 3,500 people.[6] The songs have since been performed at film festivals all over the world.

In November 2002, the band, along with a string section and percussionist Milo Fell, recorded the album over a two-day period at Whitfield Street Recording Studio in London.

A DVD of the same name was given a limited release in 2003. It included Vertov's original film allied to The Cinematic Orchestra's soundtrack, and a "making of" documentary as well as some live performances and music videos from the band.
