Eisenstein on the Audiovisual in paperback, and some events

15/4/2011

 

'Eisenstein on the Audiovisual' has just appeared in paperback!  At last!

It's now in the IB Tauris Kino series for books about Russian cinema.
For more information please click on the IB Tauris Publishers link, below right. 

Lots of things coming up, lots of preparation in progress.  

In reverse chronological order:

 -  invited by Rhidian Davies to teach four sessions on 'Eisenstein - Audiovisual Pioneer', as part of the BFI's Russian film festival, 'Kino', which lasts for an amazing six months.

I'll be dealing with Eisenstein's ideas about synaesthesia, dividing the other talks into sections on audiovisual irony, audiovisual landscapes, audiovisual terror and the uncanny, nonindifferent nature, the audiovisual ecstatic.

We'll be looking at extracts from films by Lynch, Mallick, Werner Herzog, David Lean, Paradjanov, Kurosawa, Bunuel, Hitchcock, Tarkovsky, Chris Marker, Sokhurov, Pasolini, Kaneto Shindo, Satyajit Ray, some contemporary experimental work, and Eisenstein.

This audiovisual adventure begins on Wednesday 11th May at 18.30, then on subsequent Wednesdays: 18th, 25th May and 1st June, at the Studio, BFI, South Bank Centre, London.

 - invited by Dr Emma Widdis to present "Eisenstein on Synaesthesia, with reference to 'S', the Extraordinary 'Memory Man'", on Monday 9th May at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, Cambridge University, at 5pm. 

Dr Widdis is the author of 'Alexander Medvedkin' in Kino, the  Russian cinema series published by I.B. Tauris.

 - invited by Larry Sider to present what I've called 'Do the Eisenstein Thing' at his School of Sound Symposium (27-30 April, Purcell Room, Queen Elizabeth Hall, South Bank Centre, London).

I'll be showing how Eisenstein's ideas on the audiovisual apply to Spike Lee's amazing film 'Do the Right Thing', on Friday 29th April at 4.45.

Also looking forward to the wide variety of presentations from practitioners of the audiovisual from around the world, starting with Randy Thom from Beijing.
