Title: Sergei Eisenstein: Mexican Fantasy

Release Date: 12 Feb 1998

Runtime: 1h 39m

Genre: Documentary

Director: Gosfilmfond Russia, Gosfilmofond, CTB Film Company

Production Companies: Gosfilmfond Russia, Gosfilmofond, CTB Film Company

Overview: Eisenstein shot 50 hours of footage on location in Mexico in 1931 and 32 for what would have become ¡Que viva México!, but was not able to finish the film. Following two wildly different reconstruction attempts in 1939 (Marie Seton's 'Time in the Sun') and 1979 (Grigori Alexandrov's '¡Que viva México!') Kovalov has here compiled another hypothetical version of what Eisenstein's film might have been.

    Satoyama II: Japan's Secret Watergarden

    Each home has a built in pool or water tank that lies partly inside, partly outside its’ walls… A continuous stream of spring water is piped right into a basin, so freshwater is always available. People rinse out pots in the tank and clean their freshly picked vegetables. If they simply pour the food scraps back in the water, they risk polluting the whole village supply. However, carp can scour out even the greasy or burnt pans. They do the washing up in Satoyama villages. This traditional arrangement is called the riverside method. It’s used all over Japan. Cleaned up by the carp, the tank water eventually rejoins the channel.
