Nineteen scholars, writers, and friends remember Annette Michelson (1922–2018), cofounder of October . Written tributes by Giuliana Bruno, Scott Bukatman, Enrico Camporesi, Edward Dimendberg, Jean-Michel Frodon, Amos Gitai, Vivian Gornick, Gertrud Koch, Antonia Lant, Stuart Liebman, Anne McCarthy, Tony Pipolo, Robert Polidori, Yvonne Rainer, Ethan Taubes, Allen S. Weiss, and Federico Windhausen, and a series of photographs by Babette Mangolte.

Rachel Churner introduces essays by Annette Michelson and Rosalind Krauss on Soviet cinema, reprinted in conjunction with the centennial of the October revolution. Published in the early 1970s, these essays provide a glimpse into how the founders of October thought about the revolution—and, in particular, Sergei Eisenstein's film October, which commemorated the tenth anniversary of the revolution—in the years before they started their publication.
