Vsevolod Pudovkin: Selected Essays (Paperback - 2006)

About the Book
Vsevolod Pudovkin (1893-1953) was one of the leading Soviet film directors in the 'golden age' of silent cinema in the 1920s. His films - especially The Mother, The End of St Petersburg and Storm over Asia - are classics of silent cinema.

Like Eisenstein, Pudovkin was also a major theorist of film. This new translation of Pudovkin s seminal writings brings together his most important essays from his two key books, Film Technique and Film Acting. The essays highlight the development of Pudovkin s revolutionary thinking on scripts, directing, time, sound, and acting.
