DESCRIPTION:\nThe architectural future of Moscow inspired the work of a nu
 mber of Soviet filmmakers in the 1930s\, among them Sergei Eisenstein\, Va
 silii Zhuravlev\, and Aleksandr Medvedkin. In a number of films of that pe
 riod\, the future takes the form of a number of exceedingly complicated co
 mposite shots\, close readings of which may tell us a great deal not only 
 about the techniques used to construct such visions of the future\, but al
 so about cinema's relationship to architectural history and architecture's
  reciprocal interest in animation.\n\nAnne Nesbet is Associate Professor i
 n the Department of Film and Media and the Department of Slavic Languages 
 and Literatures at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is working
  on a book on film and architecture in the Soviet 1920s and 1930s. Her pre
 vious publications include many articles on Soviet literature\, film\, and
  culture\, as well as Savage Junctures: Sergei Eisenstein and the Shape of
  Thinking (I. B. Tauris 2003). She also has written a number of novels for
  children\, notably The Cabinet of Earths (HarperCollins 2012)\, A Box of 
 Gargoyles (HarperCollins 2013)\, and The Wrinkled Crown (forthcoming from 
 HarperCollins in 2015).
