This has everything to do with the introduction of pan-graphic film from mid-20's on. The big Russian-artist kick-out was in '26, so looks like the smuggling just kept going West - until stopped by Pacific shore? Funny how the dictators always try to turn back the aesthetic clock! Good subject for montage - as the punk Hitler re-run parodies demonstrate.

No,

No, it was Slavko Vorkapitch who pioneered the so-called "Russian montage". You can see a great example of his work in the American film "Crime Without Passion," among others

The most brilliant and necessary comment I've ever read in Y.T. Thanks oobleckboy.
-
Didn't that Vertov guy rename himself "Alex Korda" & get involved with Alfred Hichcock? Make some agi-prop films for "Merry Old England"?
-
Yep. Lev Kuleshov (The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr West in the Land of the Bolsheviks), Dziga Vertov (Man with the Movie Camera), Vsevolod Pudovkin (Mother, Storm Over Asia), and Einsenstein.
-
And by Russians, you mean the ever-so-delightful Sergei Eisenstein
-
His life is not too strange for those germany days
btw russian montage es way too different from german cinema wich is more a plastic conception, even if they use montage tecchniques from griffith most of and the early russian experience

Nobody can MONTAGE like the great German directors. With the rise of the Nazis German filmmakers smuggled "the montage" out to England, France & the USA. Stowed away in the bottoms of suitcases, hatboxes and childrens toys the Montage would eventually find homes in films such as Rocky, Flashdance, Scarface, Ghostbusters and the ever powerful, Teen Wolf.
Thank you German silent films! (P.S. The Germans learned the montage from the Russians)
