Eisenstein was a key figure in world cinema history, yet he completed only seven films. His unique contribution lies in his constant attempt to combine theory and practice. Drawing on the BFI's widely acclaimed four volume edition of Eisenstein's writings, this reader presents the most important shorter film-related texts in annotated translations for the student and general reader.
