	Alexander Dovzhenko's Cinematic Visions
		Dovzhenko was born on August 29, 1894 ([Old Style]; September 10, 1894 [New Style]) to Petro Semenovych Dovzhenko and Odarka Ermolaivna Dovzhenko in Viunyshche, a district in the small town of Sosnytsia in the Chernihiv Province of Ukraine.
		Dovzhenko's examination of the world undoubtedly led to an awareness of a discrepancy between the "world that is and the world that 'should' be."
		Dovzhenko was born a middle child, but functionally became the oldest in 1905.

	Riley on Liber/Dovzhenko
		Dovzhenko was born in 1894, the seventh of fourteen children, but by the age of eleven his six older siblings were dead, and he was one of only two to survive into adulthood.
		A public apology was demanded, and though Dovzhenko evaded it, the film was taken from his hands and three excisions made: the notorious 'refilling the tractor radiator' scene, Natalia's naked rampage when she breaks down in response to her fiance's murder, and an inexplicit scene of a woman in labour.
		Dovzhenko had often spoken his mind in the past, regardless of the political consequences but he seems to have been driven to breaking point, allegedly describing Soviet democracy as 'the greatest lie and hypocrisy which humanity ever knew' (217).

	EuroScreenwriters - Interviews with European Film Directors - Alexander Dovzhenko
		Dovzhenko was born in 1894 in a town by the Desna River, the son of an illiterate Ukrainian cossack farmer who also had to work as a driver and pitch burner to feed his family.
		Dovzhenko's unfinished final film, the 1950 Farewell America, is stridently kitschy anti-American propaganda in chromolike color that was instigated as well as halted by Stalin, then "completed" only seven years ago with documentary material about its making and unmaking.
		Dovzhenko was all set to direct Poem of an Inland Sea when he died in 1956, yet I believe that all five of these features say "directed by Alexander Dovzhenko" in their credits, following the Russian tradition of paying homage to a master.

	Poetry in Motion: Alexander Dovzhenko's Earth
		This statement, echoed by the noted historian of Soviet film Jay Leyda (2), conveys precisely the often agonising, overwhelming sense of affect one still finds in Dovzhenko's best films; the unmistakeable, ineluctable, almost cathartic feeling of a filmmaker engaging fully and unreservedly with the work he is producing.
		It is, therefore, entirely fitting that Dovzhenko should have been the least overt theorist of the great avant-garde, montage school of 1920s/'30s Soviet filmmaking (his contemporaries, such as Eisenstein and Pudovkin, were generally putting into practice published theses on film style).
		What this uproarious moment, which seems analogous (in its tempo and rhythm) to an orchestra reaching the tremendous climax of a Tchaikovsky or Mozart overture, seems to be doing is nothing less than equating the newly empowered peasant class with an omniscient, all powerful entity: that is, with god.
