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. The Short-Fiction Scenario presents a
master-class on turning a short story into an effective film.
Delivered as a series of lectures at the State Institute of
Cinematography, it details two parallel scripts drawn from the same
story; at each point of difference, Eisenstein explains why one
works better.
