Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein (22 January [O.S. 10 January] 1898 – 11 February 1948) was a Soviet film director, screenwriter, film editor and film theorist.
January 23,1898, Riga, Latvia d. February 11, 1948, Moscow, USSR
Eisenstein taught me a lot of formal filmmaking, how to tell a story without using the story, by using a formal strategy.
