Film7.6DramTarihSinema tarihinin ilk 10 filminden biri... Dünya sinemasının başyapıtları arasında, tüm zamanların en önemli filmi olan Potemkin Zırhlısı; 1905 devrimi yansıtan devrimci bir film olmasının yanında, büyük usta Eisenstein'ın sinema sanatında devrim yaratan bir çalışmasıdır. Potemkin Zırhlısı'nda, tarihin en baskıcı rejimlerinden Rus Çarlığına karşı halkın ayaklanması ve dayanışması yalın ama sarsıcı bir dille anlatılmaktadır. Eisenstein, Potemkin Zırhlısı'nda, sinema tarihinde bir ilki gerçekleştirdi ve filmin baş kahramanı olarak "yıldızlar" yerine, halk kitlelerini seçti. Bolşevik devrimi, sanatın tüm alanında olduğu gibi, sinema sanatında da büyük bir canlanma yarattı. Ve çeşitli sinema akımları bu dönemde özgün örneklerini sundu. Sinema ustası Dziga Vertov'un sinema kuramı ve biçemi Sinema-Göz'e karşı Einsestein, Sinema-Yumruk kuramını geliştirdi ve ilk örneğini Potemkin Zırhlısı'yla verdi..

The Island of the Dead is a film about the demise of the Russian Epocha Modern. The symbol of this culture was the legendary Russian film star Vera Kholodnaya, who evoked a poetic image of the young urban woman on the silver screen. Her death in 1919, shrouded in tragedy and mystery, put a symbolic end to the pre-Revolutionary period. The Island of the Dead is composed of fragments from numerous films from this period, juxtaposed with other contemporary artistic expressions such as music and painting. Kovalov shows convincingly how the fragile beauty of the Russian Epocha Modern had to make way for the pressure of Futurism, Constructivism and other 'progressive trends', and how these '-isms' were then also relegated to the melting pot to be remoulded by totalitarian norms.

Film7.0BelgeselEisenstein shot 50 hours of footage on location in Mexico in 1931 and 32 for what would have become ¡Que viva México!, but was not able to finish the film. Following two wildly different reconstruction attempts in 1939 (Marie Seton's 'Time in the Sun') and 1979 (Grigori Alexandrov's '¡Que viva México!') Kovalov has here compiled another hypothetical version of what Eisenstein's film might have been.

Film8.7BelgeselA free film adaptation of the director's memoirs. In form, this is the "stream of consciousness" that attracted Sergei Eisenstein after getting acquainted with the experiments of James Joyce. The outer outline of the film is a long foreign trip of the director, which began in 1929, during which he recalls his past life and considers creative ideas. The film is constructed as a free alternation of reality, dreams, and fantasies. The material for it is fragments from the films of Sergei Eisenstein and his fellow contemporaries, documentary footage depicting the director and his time. The wide coverage of the faces and events reflected in the film shows the special role of Sergei Eisenstein in the culture of the twentieth century…

Film5.1FantastikKomediFilmic insert to Eisenstein's modernized, free adaptation of Ostrovskiy's 19th-century Russian stage play, "The Wise Man" ("Na vsyakogo mudretsa dovolno prostoty"). The anti-hero Glumov tries to escape exposure in the midst of acrobatics, derring-do, and farcical clowning. Several members of Eisenstein's troupe at the legendary "Proletkult" stage theatre in Moscow briefly appear in this little film.
FilmBelgeselEisenstein is celebrated either as the last Leonardo da Vinci of modernity or attacked as Faustus, Faustus who made a pact with the devil. Whichever is the case, neither friends nor foes are able to resist the powerful draw of Eisenstein's work. He was a person of complexity who was understood in very different ways, as a generous cosmopolitan and a stingy hermit, a cynic and yet a highly sensitive, vulnerable being. The film deals with a number of phases in Eisenstein's life, and tries to get away from the orthodox image of him by using new material to shed a different light on his biography.
