Not only did Eisenstein direct some of the most important and lasting works of the silent era, including \u003ci\u003eStrike\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOctober\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBattleship Potemkin\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as, in the sound era, the historical epics \u003ci\u003eAlexander Nevsky\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIvan the Terrible\u003c\/i\u003e--he also was a theorist whose insights into the workings of film were so powerful that they remain influential for both filmmakers and scholars today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ​Seagull Books is embarking on a series of translations of key works by Eisenstein into English. \u003ci\u003eThe Short-Fiction Scenario\u003c\/i\u003e presents a master-class on turning a short story into an effective film. Delivered as a series of lectures at the State Institute of Cinematography, it details two parallel scripts drawn from the same story; at each point of difference, Eisenstein explains why one works better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857424891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Sergei Eisenstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44413554786485,"sku":"9780857424891","price":18.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9e7b245e-e3b2-4118-8c5e-33970501634b.jpg?v=1720537616","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-short-fiction-scenario-9780857424891","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
