"Two film pieces of any kind, placed together, inevitably combine into a new concept, a new quality, arising out of that juxtaposition."

- Sergei Eisenstein, "Word and Image," 1938

constructivism

After the Russian revolution of 1917, constructivism was born as a politically progressive modernist movement in which artists offered their talents as cultural “engineers.” Their unique aesthetic embraced photomontage, cubo-futurist poster art, and experimental architecture, as well as the sophisticated montage techniques of filmmakers like Sergei Eisenstein.
