Sergei Eisenstein is considered one of the symbols of the 20th century – an era in which cinema rose to the forefront and became "the most important of the arts." This innovative director stood at the origins of Soviet cinema and largely shaped its form. His films "October," "Battleship Potemkin," "Alexander Nevsky," "Ivan the Terrible," and "Strike" have become world classics.
However, Eisenstein's work was not limited to film direction. He was a multifaceted and extremely active man: he wrote screenplays, librettos, staged plays, and left behind a galaxy of talented students and fascinating works on the theory and practice of performing arts, as well as several hundred drawings, including sketches, caricatures, set designs, storyboards, and more.
Sergei Eisenstein's creative legacy remains relevant and in demand today. It is studied by professionals and arouses the enduring interest of all those interested in the history, theory, and practice of cinema and other performing arts, helping us understand the complex path Russian cinema has traversed.
This book contains essays and articles by Sergei Mikhailovich, his recollections of his childhood, his path to directing, his work on films, and his insights into interesting people, as well as theoretical and journalistic works. The texts are illustrated with his drawings, created between the 1920s and 1940s.
All of the works included in the book have been previously published. For us, it was more important not to discover something unknown, but to demonstrate the versatility and uniqueness of an extraordinary man who can rightfully be considered one of the pillars of cinematic art.
