Sergei Eizenshtein. "Oktiabr' v Zimnem" (Sergei Eizenshtein. [the film] "October" in the Winter Palace)

St. Petersburg: Herm, 2017. Sewn pb. This Hermitage catalogue publishes written documents, photographs, and film clips on the great film maker's propaganda epic "October." Part of a series of exhibitions at the Hermitage that seeks to evoke the spirit of the 1917 revolution, the catalogue looks at the social and psychological rather than cinematic aspects of the film: how the movie became part of the collective memory of the Soviet people; how Eizenshtein invented events for both artistic and propagandistic reasons; how the setting of the imperial residence affected Eizenshtein and those shooting the film. 73 p., 26 cm, approx. 50 b/w and color illus., Rus.
