Eisenstein in Switzerland
Year: 1929

In 1929, Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein was internationally famous for his films to the glory of the Soviet revolution: Strike (1924), Battleship Potemkin (1925), Ten Days that Shook the World (1928), and Old and New (1929). At the request of Lazar Wechsler of Praesens Film, he journeyed to Zurich to shoot the documentary Frauennot Frauenglück, a film about abortion.
These few shots, discovered in the private archives of Lazar Wechsler in 1999, show the Soviet director making jokes about the shoot, then bidding farewell to his companions before boarding a plane for Berlin.
