Explores filmmaking and film culture from Imperial to early Soviet Russia; from the former’s deep and deliberately slow psychological melodramas directed by Yevgeni Bauer to super-dynamic, politically charged montage movies that brought fame to directors as different as Dziga Vertov, Lev Kuleshov, and Sergei Eisenstein.

All readings will be in English.

Taught by Daria Khitrova.
