Drawing on sixty volumes of diaries and other recently revealed archival materials, this program presents the struggle between Joseph Stalin and Sergei Eisenstein, who fought for freedom of expression in a climate of exiles and executions. Rare clips of the preeminent Russian director’s controversial films - including the deleted Trotsky scene in October, the original ending of The General Line, and recovered footage from the banned Bezhin Meadow - and interviews with the director of the Eisenstein Museum, friends, associates, and former students underscore the coercive power of Stalin’s authoritarian regime.
