DESCRIPTION:In Ivan the Terrible\, Eisenstein tried to use everything he'd
  been thinking about and living through for the previous twenty years to c
 ompose his portrait of the tsar. This paper draws on his writing about Dis
 ney to show how some of his most fanciful ideas about things like fish tur
 ning into tigers were inscribed in his most serious considerations of huma
 n change\, violence\, power and film making itself.\n\nThis talk is part o
