Soviet Montage Episodio 8

Russia went and had a revolution in 1917 and cinema was a big part of its aftermath. Even though film stock was hard to come by, we saw the first film school started, and the study of film became hugely important. Russian filmmakers started trying to understand the power of the cut itself, thus developing a theory of filmmaking based solely around the juxtaposition of images: Soviet Montage. In this episode of Crash Course Film History, Craig talks us through some of the filmic things going on in post-revolution era Russia.

In this episode of Crash Course Film History, we take a look at the Silent Era of Hollywood and people like Charlie Chaplin.

But this was the big turning point and a major completion point to what movies would ultimately become.
