The Method of Making a Workers’ Film (1925)
Paris Diary
Sergei Eisenstein's Paris Diary, a fragment of which is presented here for the first time in translation, traces two months of the filmmaker's sojourn in Paris between December 1929 and February 1930. It captures the singular way in which he interwove theoretical reflections with free associations, political remarks, and random observations. Containing drawings and notes, these pages also bear witness to significant encounters with the biologist …
The Capital Diaries: A New Selection
Almost fifty years after the first publication of Sergei Eisenstein's "Notes for a Film of Capital" in the pages of October, "The Capital Diaries: A New Selection" presents extensive new extracts from the Soviet filmmaker's notebooks from 1927 and 1928, drawing from over five hundred pages of notes, images, press clippings, drawings, and diagrams in which Eisenstein puzzles over his (unrealized) film based on Karl Marx's Das Kapital.

Letters from Mexico to Maxim Strauch and Ilya Trauberg
I was very pleased to receive your letter. It was really marvelous to read that someone takes some interest in me, aside from their interest in Mexico. I am not at all accustomed to that. If my doppelg5inger is, deep within his soul, an old, sentimental Jew, then he's in for even harsher treatment than a second V. V. [Mayakovsky]. You see, I don't even have anyone to cry to on the telephone. Not only here where the country doesn't run on telephon…
"Notes for a Film of "Capital
October 13, 1927. . . To extend the line (and to explicate it, step by step) of dialectical development in my work. Let us recall: 1. STRIKE. The order-educational and methodological film on the methods and processes of class and of underground work. Whence-serial film structure and detachment from a specific place (in the project there's a whole series of escapes, prison life, rebellion, body-searches, etc.). 2. POTEMKIN. I'm emphasizing, just a…
Montage of Attractions: For Enough Stupidity in Every Wiseman
Just a few words. The theatrical program of the Proletkult does not involve the “utilization of the values of the past” or the “invention of new forms of theatre” but the abolition of the very institution of the theatre as such, replacing it with a showplace for achievements in the theatre or with an instrument for raising the standard of training of the masses in their day-to-day life. The real task of the scientific section of the Proletkult in…
