Notes from a Director's Laboratory 261 Notes on Texts lind Trtmslations 266 Sources 268 Index 273 INTRODUCTION THE COMPILATION of this book of essays was one of its author's last tasks. Though too weak in his last two years of life to resume film work, Eisenstein was too strong to relax his theoretical activity. His fatal attack, on the night of Feb­ ruary 10, 1948, interrupted him at work; when he was found the next morning, before him were his last words-an un­ finished essay on color, its use in the unfinished Ivan the Terrible. It is precisely because he was so far from being finished, as film-maker or theoretician, that we feel his loss so deeply. A great artist leaves his work behind him, but a contempla­ tion of Eisenstein's completed work does little to ease the shock of his death, for all these films pointed to further work in which his heroic and tireless expansion of the film medium would push beyond all the limits that lesser artists have set around it. Each step forward by Eisenstein promised a hun­ dred following unexpected steps, and death at the age of forty-nine leaves many steps untaken. As a great teacher he left an even richer heritage: from his students and the large body of his theory we can expect further fruit, even beyond our generation. It was said of Bach, "Only he who knows much can teach much," and we can be eternally grateful that Eisenstein's immense knowl­ edge was poured not only into six finished films but also, directly and indirectly, into an incalculable number of pupils. A steady source for his imagination, as artist and as teacher, lay in his consciousness of the artist's real influence in society, an influence to be fully realized only within an equally power­ ful sense of responsibility to society. This dual pull deter­ mined his every decision: in esthetics, for example, it made vii vw INTRODUCTION him impatient with every lean towards surface naturalism­ for he could see the unwillingness, the laziness, ignorance and often opportunism behind such an evasion of the difficult but central problem. The film artist's job was to learn his prin­ ciples from a profound investigation of all arts and all levels of life, to measure these principles against an unfaltering un­ derstanding of himself, and if he then did anything less than create-with bold, living works that moved their audiences to excitement and understanding-he was neither good artist nor positive member of society. In film, with all its easy satis­ factions, there was more temptation to skirt this primary issue than in any other art, but once Eisenstein chose cinema as the supremely expressive medium, he undertook to wage upon it, as upon a battlefield, a perpetual war against the evils of dishonesty, satisfaction, superficiality. He fought with the arrogance of an assured artist-he knew how much we all needed him, whether we admitted it or not. His aim was a poetry possible only to films, a realism heightened by all the means in the film-artist's power. Though both he and the surrealists would have denied his relation to the term, this was sur-realism-but the dynamic aim and accomplishment of Sergei Eisenstein need no category or label. To challenge laziness and naturalism puts the challenger at a disadvantage: it attaches "anti-natural" labels to the chal­ lenger's principles and practice, and forces him to prove, in works, that they can be affective beyond those works whose "simplicity" is essentially negative. The affective test was passed by each of Eisenstein's films; the principles were stub­ bornly enunciated in writing that in sheer quantity outdoes the public thinking of any film-maker. He admitted to being neither a smooth nor a talented writer, and was dependent on the energy of his ideas and the clarity of their expression; he employed circumstantial as well as poetic proof-and he drew on the world for his illustrations. His "right way," swerving sharply from standard thinking, or rather, standard non-think­ ing about films, forced his theoretical writing to combine polemic, rhetoric, self-defense, essay, gallery tour, analysis, INTRODUCTION 1X lecture, sermon, criminal investigation, chalk-talk-and to be as valid for the local, immediate problem, as for the general, lasting issue. A many-sided, never-ending education stocked his armory of illustration: criticized for distortion, he would point to the "purposeful distortion" employed by a Sharaku or a Flaubert; accused of "unlifelike theories" he would hold up precedents from the fields of philology and psychology; accusations of "leftism" and "modernism" brought out de­ fenses by Milton, Pushkin, EI Greco that not only solidified his argument, but gave it a fresh dimension, and stimulated the reader to investigate these neglected riches. His first readers were always, as were his first audiences, his fellow film-makers and his students, furnishing, even in their maintenance of opposite views, a body of encourage­ ment and stimulation that would be hard to equal outside that electric Moscow-Leningrad-Kiev circuit of film-enthusi­ asts. His foreign readers have been variously handicapped, by an unavoidable remoteness from this stimulating atmosphere and by a remoteness from the issues under discussion there, that motivated a great deal of Eisenstein's combative writing; but the greatest handicap for his readers (and professionally interested spectators) abroad was the distortion, by misuse, imitation, and misinterpretation, of his basic terms and con­ cepts. To read, for example, about "montage" through the dis­ torting haze of superficiality with which this term has been brought into our studios, has not aided an understanding of Eisenstein's theo�etical writing. In recent years, however, gen­ eral information on Eisenstein's theories has tended to escape these earlier prejudices and apings, and it seems that his films and writings alike will be now examined with more profit in this country than during his lifetime. It is hoped that this sec­ ond volume of his writing to appear in English • will contrib­ ute to this profit and comprehension. Of his hundreds of essays, this group was selected to show certain key-points in the development of his film theory and, . • The. �ilm. Sense, his first book, originally appeared in 1942; the re­ vised editlon m 1947. x INTRODUCTION in particular, of his analysis of the sound-film medium. De­ spite the existence of Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible, the study of Eisenstein's theories usually finds its illustrations in his "silent" films. This almost makes more poignant the revelation in these essays of his long planning and contempla­ tion of sound as an essential element in his vision of the total film, and he was fully aware of the apparent strangeness that he "should resemble the last to arrive at the wedding." Yet the still restless couple-sight and sound-has lost its most hope­ ful conciliator and advisor in Eisenstein's death, for no sound­ film program has achieved either the solidity of his "State­ ment" of 19 28 and his "Achievement" of 1939 or the adven­ ture of his plans for An American Tragedy (discussed in "A Course in Treatment"). The sure simplicity of audio-visual experiment in N evsky and the grand experiment in heroic style of Ivtm the Terrible, Part I have not yet been properly gauged for their instructional virtues, and the rich fund of discussion of the sound-film in these essays must be added to the sum of his completed films to gain a rounded view on his intellectually mature grasp of the film medium. Some of these essays have been previously available, some­ times in inadequate English renderings; the relation of the present texts to these earlier translations is indicated at the end of the volume. Generous assistance on all levels has been given this book by Esther and Harold Leonard, by Jane and Gordon Wil­ liams, by Sergei Bertensson, Richard Collins, Robert Payne, and other friends. John Winge made the new translation from Eisenstein's German manuscript (lent by the Museum of Modem Art Film Library) of "A Dialectic Approach to Film Form," and the frames chosen by Eisenstein for its illus­ tration were prepared for reproduction here by Irving Lerner. I am particularly grateful to the Hon. Ivor Montagu whose long association with the personality and ideas of the author produced translations so conscientious and scrupulous that a minimum of adjustment has been necessary in adding them to this collection.

  • Cutting Patterns in DW Griffith's Biographs
    Cutting patterns in D.W. Griffith’s Biographs: An experimental statistical study Mike Baxter, 16 Lady Bay Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 5BJ, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected]) 1 Introduction A number of recent studies have examined statistical methods for investigating cutting patterns within films, for the purposes of comparing patterns across films and/or for summarising ‘average’ patterns in a body of films. The present paper investigates how different ideas that have been proposed might be combined to identify subsets of similarly constructed films (i.e. exhibiting comparable cutting structures) within a larger body. The ideas explored are illustrated using a sample of 62 D.W Griffith Biograph one-reelers from the years 1909–1913. Yuri Tsivian has suggested that ‘all films are different as far as their SL struc- tures; yet some are less different than others’. Barry Salt, with specific reference to the question of whether or not Griffith’s Biographs ‘have the same large scale variations in their shot lengths along the length of the film’ says the ‘answer to this is quite clearly, no’. This judgment is based on smooths of the data using seventh degree trendlines and the observation that these ‘are nearly all quite different one from another, and too varied to allow any grouping that could be matched against, say, genre’1. While the basis for Salt’s view is clear Tsivian’s apparently oppos- ing position that some films are ‘less different than others’ seems to me to be a reasonably incontestable sentiment. It depends on how much you are prepared to simplify structure by smoothing in order to effect comparisons.

  • Writers Professional Materials
    Writers Professional Working Materials INTRODUCTION Writers professional working materials and the tools of the trade – they are considered the sales tools for a writer’s work. These will be the most utilised materials when trying to establish yourself as a scriptwriter as either writer-for-hire work or when pitching your own original idea. No Producer or Production Company (locally or internationally) will ever read a script, treatment, logline or synopsis – unless a pre-existing relationship is in place – unsolicited. This means writers first need to be invited to send through materials in the manner that best suits that Producer or Production Companies. This helps to protect copyright or a copyright claim for both parties. It is also important to note that in international territories only Agents are able to introduce writers to Producers and Production Companies. Below each header you will find links to helpful sites and further information. As a screenwriter your job is to write, research, write, learn, write, and adapt. Google is your friend and before you ask Facebook for the answer, ask Google! Or check out the NZWG website for information on knowing your rights, contracting, useful facts and upcoming events. Before going any further, the below link is a must read for newcomers and is aimed at people applying for early development funding. It’s put together by Screen Australia, and is a very basic ‘How To Guide’ for feature filmmakers on application materials included in their application process – logline, synopsis & treatment. https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/getmedia/ae5708a4-05d9-4db0-b5fb-4f999fdfed57/What-is-a- synopsis.pdf Below are all the materials broken into parts, starting with how to format your works.

They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

  • Aleksandra Khokhlova
    Aleksandra Khokhlova Also Known As: Aleksandra Sergeevna Khokhlova, Aleksandra Botkina Lived: November 4, 1897 - August 22, 1985 Worked as: acting teacher, assistant director, co-director, directing teacher, director, film actress, writer Worked In: Russia by Ana Olenina Today Aleksandra Khokhlova is remembered as the star actress in films directed by Lev Kuleshov in the 1920s and 1930s. Indeed, at the peak of her career she was at the epicenter of the Soviet avant-garde, an icon of the experimental acting that matched the style of revolutionary montage cinema. Looking back at his life, Kuleshov wrote: “Nearly all that I have done in film directing, in teaching, and in life is connected to her [Khokhlova] in terms of ideas and art practice” (1946, 162). Yet, Khokhlova was much more than Kuleshov’s wife and muse as in her own right she was a talented author, actress, and film director, an artist in formation long before she met Kuleshov. Growing up in an affluent intellectual family, Aleksandra would have had many inspiring artistic encounters. Her maternal grandfather, the merchant Pavel Tretyakov, founder of the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, was a philanthropist and patron who purchased and exhibited masterpieces of Russian Romanticism, Realism, and Symbolism. Aleksandra’s parents’ St. Petersburg home was a prestigious art salon and significant painters, actors, and musicians were family friends. Portraits of Aleksandra as a young girl were painted by such eminent artists as Valentin Serov and Filipp Maliavin. Aleksandra’s father, the doctor Sergei Botkin, an art connoisseur and collector, cultivated ties to the World of Arts circle–the creators of the Ballets Russes.
