A composer has re-written the music to one of the most famous films in cinema history.
Dr Ed Hughes, of the University of Sussex, has created a new score for the 1925 film Battleship Potemkin.
The new music to Sergei Eisenstein's masterpiece will premiere at the Brighton Festival on Saturday, May 14, at the British Engineerium in Hove.
It marks the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution of 1905, which is depicted in the film.
Dr Hughes, who lectures in music, said he tried to imagine what Eisenstein would have produced with access to today's technology.
He said: "The film has a very bold storyline matched by a freshness of approach to film-making. Its sense of modernity and its originality invites the use of contemporary musical resources."
Dr Hughes has created other new scores for classic films and writes opera, orchestral and vocal music.
His first opera, The Birds, is based on Aristophanes' satire on the search for Utopia and opens at the City of London festival in June.
