DESCRIPTION:The architectural future of Moscow inspired the work of a numb
 er of Soviet filmmakers in the 1930s\, among them Sergei Eisenstein\, Vasi
 lii Zhuravlev\, and Aleksandr Medvedkin. In a number of films of that peri
 od\, the future takes the form of a number of exceedingly complicated comp
 osite shots\, close readings of which may tell us a great deal not only ab
 out the techniques used to construct such visions of the future\, but also
  about cinema's relationship to architectural history and architecture's r
 eciprocal interest in animation.\n\n*Anne 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 o
 f Thinking_ (I. B. Tauris 2003). She also has written a number of novels f
 or children\, notably _The Cabinet of Earths_ (HarperCollins 2012)\, _A Bo
 x of Gargoyles_ (HarperCollins 2013)\, and _The Wrinkled Crown_ (forthcomi
 ng from HarperCollins in 2015).
