Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin tells a very complete story in only about 70 minutes. The black-and-white, silent flick is based on a real-life mutiny aboard a ship in the waters of the Black Sea near Ukraine. Of course, the incredibly influential Odessa Steps sequence is what people remember best...and it's the extremely violent result of this "war" against your own oppressive rulers. Eisenstein made one of the greatest Russian motion pictures ever here, but the storytelling and modern-feeling technical achievements (especially the editing) make this far more than just a old Communist propaganda film. So don't just hang out in your hammock below-deck and starve on a government boat. No, rise up, comrades, and devour the 664th edition of Have You Ever Seen, the one about Battleship Potemkin.

Join hosts Jason, Tony, and our new co-host, Paul, on Episode One of Season Two! On this episode we discuss Sergei Eisenstein's epic two-part Soviet masterpiece Ivan the Terrible, released in 1945 and 1958 respectively. The films were commissioned by Joseph Stalin in 1941 as a means to rehabilitate Ivan the Terrible's image for a contemporary Soviet audience. Stalin celebrated Part 1, but the state banned Part 2. A third part had been in the works, but was abandoned by Eisenstein after the suppression of the second part. Our discussion touches on this history and many other topics, including Soviet montage, dialectical art construction, Eisenstein's queerness, his fraught relationship with Stalin, and more.  This is the first episode of a new format in which we take book or movie recommendations from each of us, which are found below:  Tony's book recommendations: Sergei Eisenstein: A Life in Conflict by Ronald Bergan (2016) Narrative, Apparatus, Ideology, edited by Philip Rosen (1986) Film Form: Essays in Film Theory by Sergei Eisenstein (1949) Paul's book and film recommendations: This Thing of Darkness: Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible in Stalinist Russia by Joan Neuberger (2019) Ivan the Terrible by Joan Neuberger  Battleship Potemkin (1925; dir.

1925: El Acorazado Potemkin y La quimera del oro Miremos hacia atrás. Cien años. Mil novecientos veinticinco fue y será siempre un año extraordinario y determinante para el cine. Ese mismo año estrenaron en el mundo El acorazado Potemkin y La quimera del oro. La primera, obra del realizador soviético Sergei Eisenstein, es un ejemplo claro del poder del lenguaje cinematográfico y de cómo su ejercicio es un arte en sí. Mucho se debate sobre si es la obra cumbre de Eisenstein, pero tenemos claro que es una película que se ha estudiado, se estudia y se seguirá haciendo en escuelas, cursos y talleres de cine de todo el mundo. La segunda es la película que el británico Charlie Chaplin escribió, dirigió y protagonizó para unir en una sola historia, un western atípico pero ejemplar, a la tragedia y a la comedia. Se trata de una historia que también eleva al lenguaje del cine al nivel de arte puro. Pero también y a su manera, muestra algunas grietas peligrosas del sueño americano. Dos obras cumbre del cine se estrenaron hace cien años: El acorazado Potemkin y La quimera del oro. Para comentarlas desde el amor puro que tenemos al cine invitamos a este episodio al crítico Sergio Huidobro, profesor cinematográfico, tallerista y amigo de Cinegarage.

A frozen Lake Peipus played host to a dramatic fight between 2,000 Catholic Crusaders and 6,000 Orthodox Christians on 5th April, 1242. The invading forces were the Teutonic Knights, armed with spears and swords to ‘Christianize' what they saw as a Pagan society. Novgorod's defender, Prince Alexander Nevsky, lured the Germans to the lake, where his troops could take them down one by one, in a battle that went down in Russian lore.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how much of the imagery of the battle was in fact crystallised by a controversial twentieth-century filmmaker; consider why the Knights were so unprepared for this particular confrontation; and ask what actual theological differences separated the warring factions…  Further Reading: • ‘Lake Peipus: Battle on the Ice' (Warfare History Network, 2005): https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/lake-peipus-battle-on-the-ice/ • ‘Alexander Nevsky - Prince of Novgorod and Kiev': https://www.thoughtco.com/alexander-nevsky-profile-p2-1788255 • ‘Alexander Nevsky' (Sergei Eisenstein, 1938): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq4PaJfod4w We'll be back on Monday - unless you join

Em 1938, uma comissão cinematográfica muito prestigiada veio até  Sergue Prokofiev quando ele foi convidado a escrever a música para o épico Alexander Nevsky , dirigido pelo célebre Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948). Produto da colaboração entre o diretor Sergei Eisenstein e Serguei Prokofiev , o filme Alexander Nevsky (1938), esta cantata ostenta uma rica história sociopolítica e cultural. O tema do filme era muito patriótico, porém, após ter sido lançado em 1938, teve que ser retirado poucos meses após a assinatura do pacto de não agressão entre a Alemanha nazista e a URSS.

“A cultura é a melhor arma contra a guerra”, diz crítica de cinema ucraniana na Berlinale 2023

A guerra na Ucrânia não mexe apenas com o tabuleiro político do mundo, com as vidas e o cotidiano de milhares de inocentes, obrigados a enfrentar as consequências de uma invasão injustificável. O conflito tem também um dramático impacto no mundo das artes. É o que atesta a ucraniana Elena Rubashevska, editora-chefe da Federação Internacional de Críticos de Cinema (Fipresci). Em entrevista à RFI durante a Berlinale, ela analisa o atual estado do setor cinematográfico ucraniano. Daniella Franco, enviada especial da RFI a BerlimNesta 73ª edição do Festival Internacional de Cinema de Berlim, o povo ucraniano é homenageado, através da exibição de filmes e eventos paralelos. Na cerimônia da abertura, na semana passada, o presidente Volodymyr Zelensky realizou um contundente discurso, reforçando o pedido por ajuda para o fim da guerra e emocionando a plateia.O apelo também se reflete nas produções selecionadas para a Berlinale 2023. A começar por "Superpower", badalado documentário de Sean Penn e Aaron Kaufman, que apresenta um retrato de Zelensky. Há exatamente um ano, os diretores estavam em Kiev, sem suspeitar que testemunhariam o início de uma longa e sangrenta guerra – uma situação que rendeu uma forte publicidade ao trabalho, considerado sensacionalista por parte da crítica.  Menos hollywoodianas, várias outras produções ucranianas exibidas na Berlinale também tratam do conflito ou das consequências dele. É o caso dos documentários "In Ukraine", de Piotr Pawlus and Tomasz Wolski, "Iron Butterflies", de Roman Liubyi, "Eastern Front", de Vitaly Mansky e ainda "We will not fade away", de Alisa Kovalenko.No entanto, a crítica de cinema e cineasta ucraniana Elena Rubashevska, 30 anos, editora-chefe da Federação Internacional de Críticos de Cinema (Fipresci), expressa seu ceticismo sobre todo o burburinho em torno desses trabalhos. Integrante de um dos júris responsáveis pela premiação concedida pela entidade a filmes que competem em quatro mostras da Berlinale, ela também tem dúvidas sobre a imagem de ferramenta de soft power que tem o festival. "Como jurada e representante oficial de uma organização, eu deveria ser diplomática, mas como pessoa e artista, tenho a tendência de me deixar levar pela emoção e talvez julgar um pouco rapidamente", ressalta. "Infelizmente, eu observo como grandes festivais tentam manter seu status. Eles recebem financiamentos imensos, fazem muito buzz, convidam grandes estrelas, como a Kristen Stewart [presidente do júri desta edição da Berlinale]", diz a crítica de cinema e cineasta ucraniana. Essa é a primeira vez que Elena participa do Festival de Berlim, considerados um dos mais importantes do mundo e célebre por sua dimensão política. Mas, para ela, eventos menores e menos famosos trazem mais benefícios em termos de oportunidades de descobertas, debates e aprendizados."Não acho que a Berlinale vá promover mudanças políticas agora. Para chegar aqui de países como a Ucrânia ou Belarus você tem que saber dialogar e apresentar o seu trabalho. E isso é novo para gente: ainda estamos aprendendo como fazer parte da sociedade europeia. Acho que pessoas com pontos de vista alternativos, aqueles que querem verdadeiras mudanças no país, não sabem como entrar nessa indústria e se apresentar a ela", avalia.Elena fala com conhecimento de causa. Vivendo na Alemanha depois de ter morado na Polônia, onde obteve status de refugiada, ela contou à RFI como escapou da guerra. A jovem é originária do Donbass, região do leste do país que é palco dos combates mais violentos entre o exército ucraniano e as forças russas."Nasci em Donetsk e vivi lá até terminar meus estudos. Depois me mudei para Kiev, mas minha família ficou em Donetsk, então eu voltava para lá de vez em quando. Um ano antes do início da guerra, eu comprei um apartamento em Bucha, o que foi uma má ideia porque o primeiro massacre da guerra ocorreu lá”, relembra.A crítica de cinema conta que, desde então, não pôde mais retornar ao local. “É como se você saísse para ir na padaria e nunca mais pudesse voltar para casa. Eu entrei em um trem de evacuação em direção à Polônia, sem carregar nada comigo, documentos, dinheiro, nada.”Na Polônia, após se instalar, Elena conseguiu voltar a trabalhar e colaborou com a realização de um festival de cinema. “Nunca pensei em viver em Berlim. Agora faz sentido permanecer aqui porque essa é uma cidade movimentada, onde muitas coisas acontecem. Para um refugiado, Berlim é uma cidade interessante”, avalia.Cinema ucraniano em guerraA jovem também tem uma visão crítica sobre os concorrentes ucranianos da Berlinale e expressa sua decepção sobre o estado do setor do cinema do país nesse momento. Segundo ela, a guerra também é instrumentalizada por profissionais do setor cinematográfico.“Não estou participando dos eventos relacionados à Ucrânia aqui ou em outros festivais porque sei bem o que acontece: geralmente eles repetem as mesmas mensagens, o que eu não acho que ajuda, já que a situação na Ucrânia só piora. Muitos artistas estão se aproveitando dessa situação para conseguir financiamento, porque quando alguém fala frases mágicas como 'estou fazendo um filme sobre a guerra', vai conseguir patrocínio”, desabafa.Elena deixa claro que torce pela Ucrânia e por seus compatriotas do setor cinematográfico, mas acredita que financiadores ocidentais deveriam prestar mais atenção em quem investem. “Muita gente está pensando só em si mesmo e não nas necessidades do país como um coletivo”, adverte.A editora-chefe da Fipresci também expressa sua decepção com a associação do cinema ucraniano apenas com o conflito. “Meu país e sua cultura são muito mais que isso! E tantos filmes podem ser feitos... Sim, é importante falar sobre a guerra, mas não só sobre a guerra. Precisamos mostrar quem somos, pelo que estamos lutando”, diz.Elena relata que dentro do setor cinematográfico, os financiamentos que já eram escassos, obedecem agora a uma demanda monotemática. Para ela, nos próximos anos, as produções ucranianas serão previsíveis.  “É triste porque conheço muitos cineastas ucranianos e, antes da guerra, eles sonhavam em fazer comédias, filmes de romance, terror, mas isso não é prioridade agora. Talvez teremos grandes dramas sobre a guerra, mas, durante um certo tempo, será tudo muito limitado à situação política da Ucrânia”, lamenta.Grande fã de ficções científicas, a jovem que também é cineasta e roteirista teve o financiamento estatal para um projeto de filme deste gênero recusado devido ao alto custo da produção. Ela resolveu então se dedicar a um trabalho sobre a região do Donbass, de onde é originária. “E então recebi dinheiro”, ri, ressaltando que sua intenção foi sincera, mas lamentando que a agenda do mundo paute de forma uniformizada a arte em seu país.O fenômeno não é inédito, reconhece, citando a situação do setor artístico nos países dos Bálcãs. “Já faz trinta anos que a guerra acabou lá, mas há uma certa imagem que a comunidade internacional do cinema espera desta região e eles se dobram a isso. O mesmo acontece agora com a Ucrânia e, pessoalmente, não acho que é correto e não estou feliz com isso.”Há uma alternativa para que a arte se sobressaia a essa demanda? Elena acredita que sim. Ela lembra que na época do império soviético, quando havia uma agenda imposta pelo regime, surgiram grandes nomes do cinema, como Sergei Eisenstein e Andrei Tarkovsky. “Ainda assim eles tiveram que se adaptar, sendo realmente inventivos e pensando como usar a verdadeira arte contra a propaganda”, observa.Esperança para o futuro está na arteA maioria dos amigos de Elena preferiu permanecer na Ucrânia para não se afastar das famílias e segundo, ela, “esperando que a guerra acabasse logo e que a vida normal pudesse recomeçar”. O pai da cineasta ainda está baseado em Donetsk e a mãe foi para Belarus.  “É desafiador para nós porque a situação está ficando mais tensa a cada dia. Não sabemos se as fronteiras vão todas fechar e não poderemos mais nos ver. É muito difícil estar longe. A cada conversa, vem a frase: ‘vamos esperar que da próxima vez que nos falarmos teremos boas notícias', mas não acho que isso acontecerá em breve”, diz, emocionada.Elena deposita na arte sua esperança para o futuro e salienta: “a cultura é a melhor arma contra a guerra”. A jovem trabalha atualmente na futura edição do festival internacional de filme etnográfico Oko, que muito provavelmente não poderá ser realizado na Ucrânia. “Acredito que essa resistência pacífica é a melhor forma de realizar mudanças”, conclui.

Odesa, legendary Black Sea port city and vital geo-strategic nexus of global trade, is living through Russia's war against Ukraine. Always fiercely independent, both from Moscow and Kiev, its legendary past has given the city a reputation of possibility and promise. A quarter of a million people have left Odesa. Its beloved holiday beaches are closed and mined, yet life has gradually returned to its performance spaces: concerts, opera, spoken word. Recordings made since the first days of the war interweave with the fabulously rich cultural history of the city. Founded in 1794 by Catherine the Great as part of her expanding empire of Novo Rossiya, Odesa began as a dusty boom town of enormous opportunity and possibility that connected the chill of Imperial Russia to the warmth of the wider world. In some ways nothing has changed. A port city possessed of a unique argot - 'Odesski Iazyk' (a fusion of Yiddish and Russian); eternal optimism; a wicked sense of humour; more violinists than you can shake a bow at; poets and writers galore; and a gallery of rogues, real and imagined. Perhaps its most beloved literary son is Isaac Babel. Raised in the Moldovanka- still a place of liminal existence, his Odessa Tales of gangster anti-heroes like Benya Krik are forever interwoven with how Odesites and the wider world imagine the city - beautiful and bad! It is of course only partially true. Film-maker Sergei Eisenstein's Battle Ship Potemkin also put the city on the world map and the first film studios in Russia sprang up there. with its ready supply of sunlight. From foundational boom town days onwards its streets and people could make you rich, or ruin you. In the crumbling days of the Soviet empire it was a place to dream of escape to a world beyond. Babel and Eisenstein are just two among many who, since the 19th Century have helped created the myth of Old Odessa -poets and writers, musicians and comedians who flourished in what was a largely Jewish city until 1941 and the Nazi invasion of Russia. Legendary violinists ever since David Oistrakh are forged there at the Stolyarsky School, now closed due to war. Musician Alec Koypt, who grew up in the mean streets of Molodvanka, shipping proprietor Roman Morgenshtern, journalist Vlad Davidson, translator Boris Dralyuk, poets Boris and Lyudmila Kershonsky and others are our contemporary guides as the voices of the past bring forth their very Odesan genius.

Before we get into the show today, this episode was recorded on December 2nd, 2021, 54 days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. When the invasion occurred Rachael and I made sure that we wanted to make this and the following points clear. We stand with Ukraine and that we made this with the intention of discussing the film's historical and cultural significance and to contextualize it for our time. On today's episode of Cinemallennials I talked to Rachael Crawley, making it 3 out of three K Cut hosts and we talked about Sergei Eisenstein's medieval epic, Alexander Nevsky. Mostly known for his Soviet supported and majorly influential films like Battleship Potempkin, and October: Ten Days that Shook the World, Sergei Eisenstein is not only considered one of the first film theorists, but is often considered as one of the greatest artists the screen has ever known. While Nevsky isn't the first propaganda film, it's visionary director, paved the way we see historical epics and how they are created. From his use of undercranking the camera, shot composition, and use of powerful score, Eisenstein began a seemingly never ending thread of how moving images can influence an audience into believing that they too can emulate the characters and situations on screen. Alexander Nevsky follows the story of The Battle on the Ice, a pivotal conflict in Russian history in which Russian Prince Alexander Nevksy, fought The Germanic Teutonic Order fought to save Russian Orthodoxy. After the knights of the Teutonic Order sack the city of Pskov Alexander rallies his the peasantry to form a small army in order to repel the almighty power of the papally backed Teutonic Knights. Alexander Nevsky and its impact today exhibits just how powerfully long lasting the silver screen can be. SO sit back relax and let there be no more war.

Footnote #8 offers a brief detour to the abridged and incomplete animated writings of Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein from the 1940s, and in particular his notorious concept of “plasmaticness” that he argued was a way of understanding the appeal and attraction of Walt Disney's cartoon images. Listen as Chris and Alex discuss the historical, political, technological, and aesthetic dimensions of “plasmaticness” and the term's relationship to the Hollywood “rubberhosing” style; the “irresistible changeability” of Disney's reforming bodies and how, for Eisenstein, such figures momentarily took spectators back to a pre-conscious mode of existence; Disney's own artistic shift away from plasmatic impulses towards a “hyper-realist” sensibility; and the contemporary digital afterlives of Eisenstein's animated approach to transformation, character, and movement. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo**

Jacob heard to beyond the big screen, Jacob has been on to talk about Billy, the kid and film and in history and in the last episode. So I highly suggest you go back and listen to the last episode. He gave us a ton of background and context on the San Patricio battalion from the Mexican-American war.Today, we are going to talk about the 1990. Film one man's hero, a film that dramatizes the events of the San Patricio battalion during the, the Mexican American war. And like I said, I highly encouraged people to go back and listen to our episode on the history of the St. Patrice CEO's. Catholic deserters from the U S army to the Mexican army during the Mexican-American war.I really think you'll enjoy it. But, um, just to set things up for today in this 1999 film, starring Tom Berenger, what's the very short story of the San Patricio. So the [00:01:00] very short, uh, nutshell version of the, uh, San Patricio, they were a group of immigrants. Most of them, uh, associated with, uh, Catholicism, but others just trying to seek new life in America and winding up in the military at the outbreak of the Mexican American war.And. Through the circumstances of the conflict. Many of these immigrants had ended up, uh, deserving the U S army making their way to Mexico and then offering their services to the Mexican military because they found they found a stronger connection. Culturally to the Mexican people then to the United States.Now this film at stars, as we said, Tom Berenger has Sergeant Lieutenant, captain, John Riley. Uh Berenger. He almost makes a, made a career out of playing the grizzled army Sergeant. And this time he does it with an Irish [00:02:00] accent, we have a . De Alameda, he plays Courtine on. I found him as kind of the shining star of the movie for me, even though his part's kind of almost an explicable, but I think that as an actor, he did a wonderful job and, um, de Alomeda is actually a Portuguese actor and a shout out to, uh, a great friend of the show and a personal friend.On Tonio from Portugal who pointed this out to me. And then the other main star, I guess, or the movie you could say is Daniella Romero who plays in Marta. The love interest in this really strange love triangle between Kortina Tom Berenger's, Riley character, and then Marta. And she was a famous Mexican musician of the eighties and nineties, I guess it's really hard to find a place.Dart with this movie, I guess for me it happens. It's one of my first questions of the movie is [00:03:00] really upfront. And the movie Sergeant Riley, he turns on a dime w I, and he desserts from the army. He's pretty cool with the army. If he's putting the, uh, the, as a us Sergeant, he's putting people in their place.He has like one kind of sorta negative interaction with his, uh, commander and then like, boom, bang, bang keys deserted the us army he's and he's fighting for the Mexican army. I have to imagine in history. And we talked about in the last episode, it didn't happen that quickly, but why do you think in the movie it, they did it that quickly.Um, two reasons. Uh, bad writing. And, uh, secondly, uh, when you're trying to take a history that in courses, multiple years and multiple different political and social environments, and you have to put them together into this two-hour movie that you're going to show to the public and try to make money off of it.[00:04:00] There's a lot to cram in. And that's, I think that's one of the big problems when you have this dramatic shift in. Less than 10 minutes into the movie, it comes off as very awkward. And very poorly written and here's, um, anomaly that I found out about the writing of the movie. Apparently the guy who had written the script, his name was Milton S Gelman.He had actually had a history of writing for television, not an exclusively. Fifties, Western television that we had talked about in our Sam Peck and Paul pat Garrett, and Billy, the kid episode, he wrote episodes for tombstone territory, Gunsmoke that entire sub genre of television in the fifties and sixties.Now here's the kicker. He actually passed away in 1990. So he never actually got to see [00:05:00] this script that he created. Turn into the final product. And so it must have just been bouncing around from one studio to another, before it was picked up by the director and the producer, uh, LanSchool. It makes a lot of sense because it does, it has.Taste and appeal of a Western, but not in a good way either. I just, I love to get your thoughts on this because you're an actor and have done stage and probably have a ton more experience and education in this, but it seemed the whole theme of the movie is a tight shot. Everything is zoomed in to an you on these, like.Moments and you miss the whole big picture, like all the action it zoomed in and we'll get into it. But in the battle of Churubusco you get no sense of the battle. It just looks [00:06:00] like there's like 10 guys on each side going at it. And it just seemed the whole movie to me is it's two zoomed in and you get no idea of the big picture.Yeah. And now granted, I have seen some movies where that is actually used to your advantage, where you have very, a very small amount of extras or main characters. And you're trying to encompass a historical battle that had thousands or tens of thousands of people, you know, shooting at each other and hacking each other to death.Um, but when you're trying to capture it on film, Um, one of the ways that you can try to make things look larger than what you really have to work with is that you use the camera almost as if the camera man is like another person in that battle. Um, Sergei Eisenstein did it in Alexander Nevsky and even, uh, I know another famous director had done [00:07:00] it in an independent project.Orson Welles did it in chimes at midnight, 1965. The difference though, is that when you're using cinematography like that, you're trying to get a first person perspective where everything has to be clear, everything you need to have an established sense of what is at stake. And a connection to the characters.We're not connected to these characters because they're so poorly written. They're not characters, they're caricature and because everything is so hectic, we have no idea. What's. I thought that was, I felt like a day Alameda. Kortina almost Telegraph that he made a line while Berenger is Sergeant Riley, he's injured and Marta's rehabilitating him.

Frye is a law professor and filmmaker - and somewhere along the way, he decided to draw on the most interesting bits of both those endeavours and come up with an entirely different approach to his engagement with the law. He describes his work as "conceptual art in the medium of legal scholarship", wherein he challenges some of the most dearly-held commitments of the academy, including arguing that norms against plagiarism are illegitimate (indeed, he specifically encourages and authorizes people to plagiarize his work). Lately, he's taken to successfully selling his law review article art projects as NFTs. We talk about imagining Sergei Eisenstein, what he lifted from Isaiah Berlin, why law students say they don't like math but actually do, and what's been inspiring his most recent run of publications and interventions. You can follow Brian on Twitter @brianlfrye, check out some of his scholarship at SSRN, and listen to his podcast, Ipse Dixit, at https://shows.acast.com/ipse-dixit.

The Moorside, which airs on BBC1 at 9pm tonight, is a drama about events surrounding the disappearance of nine year old Shannon Matthews in 2008. Starring Sheridan Smith as Julie Bushby, the woman who orchestrated the hunt for Shannon and Gemma Whelan as Shannon's mother Karen, who was eventually found guilty of the kidnap and false imprisonment of her daughter, the programme has been criticised by some as inappropriate subject matter for a TV show. Executive producer Jeff Pope defends the making of The Moorside and discusses the ethics and challenges of turning real-life events into drama.In 20th Century Women, Annette Bening stars as a freethinking Santa Barbara mother who enlists the help of two young women in raising her adolescent son during a period of cultural and social turmoil.

Anne McElvoy investigates the role of culture within historic Soviet expansionism and current Russian geopolitics. She talks to Charles Clover, author of Black Wind, White Snow: The Rise of Russia's New Nationalism about Eurasianism, an old idea with considerable traction in Putin's Russia and why bad ideas tend to win out over good ones . Historian Polly Jones, author of Myth Memory Trauma: Rethinking the Soviet past, 1953-70 and Clem Cecil, in-coming Director of Pushkin House, are in the studio to discuss the extent of Soviet interest in soft power alongside Mark Nash, curator of Red Africa and Ian Christie, co-curator of Unexpected Eisenstein, two new exhibitions in London. The continuing cultural legacy of Cold War relations between the Soviet Union and Africa is the subject of Red Africa, a season of film, art exhibition, talks and events, runs at Calvert 22 in London while at the same time Unexpected Eisenstein, a new exhibition at GRAD gallery in London, tells the story of the anglophile tendencies of a the great Soviet film-maker, Sergei Eisenstein. Eisenstein, whose epic and patriotic films Battleship Potemkin, Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible, together constitute a visual retrospective of Russian power, was himself hugely influenced by British writers from Shakespeare to Dickins. But as Anne McElvoy hears, the director went on to influence generations of British artists and film-makers, one legacy of his six-week sojourn in London in 1929. It was, as Christie explains, a trip ordered but not precisely sponsored, by Stalin. Producer: Jacqueline Smith

How great artists and thinkers responded to the First World War in individual works of art and scholarship7.Ian Christie on Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship PotemkinFor Russians of Sergei Eisenstein's generation, the experience of the First World War was overtaken by the revolution of 1917, which took Russia out of the war and plunged it into a bitter civil war from which the infant Bolshevik Soviet state emerged. Eisenstein seized the opportunity of serving in the Red Army in order to become a radical theatre director, which led him into film as part of the first generation of Soviet film-makers who would astonish the world in the late 1920s with films like The Battleship Potemkin and October. These films would shape the cultural and political landscape of the interwar years - championed by those who wanted to condemn the Great War as an imperialist struggle, and also foreshadowing the Second World War, as in Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky. The distinguished film historian Ian Christie untangles this complex story.Producer Beaty Rubens Producer : Beaty Rubens.
