N. Kaufman’s booklet “Japanese Cinema” (1929) with Eisenstein’s article ‘Beyond the Shot’ was printed in the wake of the Soviet public’s acquaintance with the theater and cinema of Japan. In his article, Eisenstein is concerned with the question that worried many masters of the recently invented cinema: what is the language of cinema? Is it possible to compare a frame with a letter, a sound, or a word? Or is it not so simple? Japanese hieroglyphic writing helped Sergey Mikhailovich to provide his own answer.
