About Unexpected Eisenstein
Curated by leading Eisenstein expert and Kino Klassika trustee Ian Christie and GRAD director Elena Sudakova, the exhibition brought together nearly seventy sketches from the Bakhrushin State Theatre Museum and Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI). A rare chance to consider Eisenstein beyond his great films The Battleship Potemkin, Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible, it explored his influence, among other things, on generations of British filmmakers from Lawrence Oliver to Derek Jarman, Sally Potter and Mark Cousins.
