Michelson introduced American audiences to Soviet cinema in the early 1970s, extending the interpretive paradigm she had used for American filmmakers of the mid-twentieth century—in which she emphasized phenomenological readings of their work—to films and writings by Eisenstein and Vertov. Over four decades, Michelson returned again and again to what she calls, following Eisenstein, “intellectual cinema”—the deliberate attempt to create philosophically informed analogues for consciousness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume includes Michelson's major essays on Eisenstein's unrealized attempts to make movies of both Marx's \u003ci\u003eCapital\u003c\/i\u003e and Joyce's \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as her authoritative discussion of Vertov's 1929 masterpiece \u003ci\u003eThe Man with a Movie Camera\u003c\/i\u003e. Together, the texts demonstrate Michelson's pervasive influence as a writer and thinker, and her role in the establishment of cinema studies as an academic field. This collection makes these canonical texts available for a new generation of film scholars.\u003c\/p\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Foreword by Malcolm Turvey\u003cbr\u003e On the Wings of Hypothesis: Montage and the Theory of the Interval   (1992)\u003cbr\u003e Eisenstein\u003cbr\u003e Camera Lucida \/ Camera Obscura (1973)\u003cbr\u003e Reading Eisenstein Reading Capital (1976)\u003cbr\u003e Reading Eisenstein Reading Ulysses (1989)\u003cbr\u003e A World Embodied in the Dancing Line (2001)\u003cbr\u003e Vertov\u003cbr\u003e From Magician to Epistemologist: Vertov's The Man with a Movie Camera   (1972)\u003cbr\u003e Dr. Crase and Mr. Clair (1979)\u003cbr\u003e The Kinetic Icon in the Work of Mourning (1990) \u003cbr\u003e IndexAnnette Michelson (1922–2018) was widely considered one of the twentieth century's most influential writers on film.
