41 Two important books on Bazin’s life and work are Dudley Andrew, André Bazin (New York: Oxford University Press, 1978), and Jean Ungaro, André Bazin: Genealogies d’une théorie (Paris: L’Harmattan, 2000). , which Bazin started editing shortly before his death, appeared posthumously—with the exception of the first volume, which Bazin was able to hold in his hands—between 1958 and 1962.

It may seem a truism that when we see a film, we always cross a border and enter another world that is different from ours. Yet besides the physical markers of difference, there are semantic and symbolic thresholds that have their own way of encoding and addressing the spectatorial experience: as an unusual economic exchange (one pays in order to gain a view of something), as a social institution (which in the past has been attacked for the antisocial behaviour it encourages), and as a cultural phenomenon (which undermines the separation between art and commerce).
In keeping with the views of the revolutionary avant-garde, Eisenstein along with his Soviet colleagues Dziga Vertov and Vsevolod Pudovkin did not distinguish between the practical work of making a film and the theoretical work of writing a text: theory and practice complement and condition each other; they are conceivable only in terms of a dialectical unity. Following this precept, Eisenstein invested a considerable amount of energy in teaching at the Moscow film school, the first of its kind in the world.
