Few figures in cinema history are as towering as Russian filmmaker
and theorist Sergei Mikhailovitch Eisenstein (1898-1948). Not only
did Eisenstein direct some of the most important and lasting works
of the silent era, including Strike, October, and Battleship
Potemkin, as well as, in the sound era, the historical epics
Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible he also was a theorist whose
insights into the workings of film were so powerful that they
remain influential for both filmmakers and scholars today. Seagull
Books is embarking on a series of translations of key works by
Eisenstein into English. A fascinating memoir in two volumes,
Beyond the Stars first published by Seagull in 1995 and now
available again. Begun as Eisenstein approached fifty, it is full
of the famous names of his era, including Charlie Chaplin, Mary
Pickford, John Dos Passos, Jean Cocteau, and many more; at the same
time, it is a serious book of inquiry about film as a medium,
offering countless reflections by Eisenstein on his own work and
that of other movie pioneers.
