Eisenstein and the Russian Avant-garde

Have been working on the Ivan the Terrible section of the film. This section is divided up into about five or six parts which I will join together to make up one large section to go in the film. It is by and large the longest section of the film. Today I was working on the crowning and decrowning section. I also need to start writing material for publicising the film. I am approaching that part of the process. I have some notes but I need to get them into some order. I want film some material at the gatehouse of the ruined church monument on Baumanskaya Ulitsa. It will fit well with the animated material I am working on at the moment.
