>>> From: Keith Sanborn <mrzero at panix.com>
>>>
>>> my translation of Esfir' Shub's My Life is the Cinema is now available through Sticking Place Books.
>>> This is the first complete translation of her memoir, statements, unrealized projects, and correspondence (as they appeared in the 1972 Russian Edition of her work) with a couple of letters between her and Alexei Gan, which have never before appeared in English. It includes images you have definitely never seen previously. It also includes an essay by me entitled, "She's no Dziga Vertov" about her relationship with Vertov as frenemies in the world of soviet non-acted film and the fallout from that relationship in the historical evaluation of her work.
>>>
>>> Shub is the filmmaker behind Fall of the Romanov Dynasty, one of the first feature-length compilation documentaries, i.e. a film made of other films. She is also the director of one of the earliest Soviet Sound Films, KShE, among other films and one of the few women of the era to achieve the status of director/author for her work. Oh, and she is the one who taught her friend Segei Mikhailovich Eisenstein the fundamentals of editing.
