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. On Disney, which was begun in 1940 but was
never finished, was part of a series of essays Eistenstein wrote on
masters of cinema; for Eisenstein, Walt Disney offered a way to
think about how such impulses and animism and totemism survived in
modern consciousness and art. This edition presents the original,
unfinished essay along with material on Disney that Eisenstein
worked on in subsequent years but never succeeded in integrating
with the original.
