Soviet filmmaker (1898–1948)
Soviet filmmaker who turned montage into an art form and made Battleship Potemkin, a silent film so influential it still tops decade-old greatest-ever lists. Strike, October, Alexander Nevsky—all propaganda vehicles that somehow endured.
Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein was a Soviet film director, screenwriter, film editor and film theorist. Considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, he was a pioneer in the theory and practice of montage. He is noted in particular for his silent films Strike (1925), Battleship Potemkin (1925) and October (1928), as well as the historical epics Alexander Nevsky (1938) and Ivan the Terrible (1945/1958). In its decennial poll, the magazine Sight and Sound named his Battleship Potemkin the 54th-greatest film of all time.
