Kuleshov's early montage experiments, as well as their role in establishing montage cinema on a theoretical basis, had profound implications for the concepts of originality and authorship in the making of films, the same concepts which were later foregrounded by the Nouvelle Vague critics and by Roland Barthes.
Kuleshov showed that, as Barthes said of the literary text, a film's "unity lies not in its origin but in its destination" (Barthes 148); that is, it is in the mind of the spectator rather than the auteur that the film's fragments are unified and given meaning.
While Kuleshov was always careful to keep his films clear and 'intelligible to the masses', the later development of montage cinema in the work of Eisenstein and Dziga Vertov led to films which were considered by the Soviet authorities to be unusable as propaganda, being too abstruse and difficult for peasants and workers to understand.

 Understatement and the Kuleshov Effect in Kubrick's 2001
Then "Kuleshov intercut it with various shots the exact content of which he forgot in his later years..." but which, according to his associate Vsevolod Pudovkin, comprised a bowl of soup, a woman in a coffin, and a child with a toy bear.
Kuleshov switched the shots, so the starving man saw the open door and the prisoner looked at soup, and there was no noticeable difference.
Kuleshov performed no experiments to this end, but the principle is the same: we garner from the film an emotion, a strong one, that the film does not actually show us.

 Central Europe Review - Film: Lev Kuleshov
Kuleshov's Porter even says to her "Your heart is beating too loudly, Dulcie,"[22] one of several significant uses of the heart motif in the film and a clear reference to the real-life O Henry's refusal to write about her.
Kuleshov enigmatically labels this on an inter-title a "happy ending." The irony is enhanced by the use of music again, which links the ending to the escapism of the silent film version of Porter's story.
Kuleshov's irony and fine sense of kitsch have gone almost completely unappreciated by critics and audiences, who have, on the whole, taken his unadulterated schmaltz at face value and been thoroughly baffled by the erratic fragmentations in the plot.

 RusFilm-2003. The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks
While America was, ideologically, the Soviet Union's antagonist, Kuleshov and his students took the editing techniques as well as the acting style of U.S. adventure and mystical serial films as their model, testifying to the popularity of American genre cinema in Russia at the time.
Lev Vladimirovich Kuleshov was born in 1899 in Tambov, Russia.
Kuleshov is best known for his famous workshop (founded in 1919), a collective that included Boris Barnet and Vsevolod Pudovkin, among others.

 Lev Kuleshov - Films as Director:, Other Films:
Lev Kuleshov is known to Russian filmmakers quite simply as the "father of Soviet cinema."; He began his career in cinema before the Revolution working with Evgeni Bauer and became one of Soviet cinema's leading film directors and theorists.
But Kuleshov also appreciated the importance of acting and was responsible for developing the notion of the actor as naturshchik or "model," deriving from the Delsartian school of acting technique.
Throughout his career Kuleshov was an eminent teacher: in 1939 he was made a professor at the State Institute of Cinema, and in 1944 he became its director.

 :: The Flying Inkpot : Singapore International Piano Festival 2006 : Valery Kuleshov
Born in 1962 and belonging to that generation of Russian pianists that includes Pletnev, Kuleshov was a Gold Medallist at the Busoni International Piano Competition in Italy (1987), a Silver Medallist at the Ninth Van Cliburn International.
The Sleeping Beauty transcription was the perfect curtain raiser and provided Kuleshov the perfect platform on which to display his innate musicality, with mercurial, brilliant playing, balanced with incredible colour and delicacy and sensitive to Tchaikovsky’s original orchestral score, while managing to be stylish and humourous when the occasion called for it.
Kuleshov obliged duly with first a Rachmaninoff song, followed by a transcription of the “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” from the Nutcracker – brilliantly imitating the crystalline quality of the celesta and played with a dead-pan humour and a stupendous “La campanella” (featuring his own added notes that drew gasps from the audience).

 Lev Kuleshov   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Kuleshov, recognised by many as the founding father of Soviet cinema, was the first person to use the term 'montage' in relation to film.
Thus, adopting a similar position to Pudovkin, Kuleshov argued that montage functioned, not in terms of collision and conflict, but in terms of linkage and unification.
Eisenstein, described this as 'a most pernicious make-shift analysis'(15) because shots for him were not elements of montage but montage cells which, through their divisions and dialectical leaps, create a mise-en-scene not of harmony but of conflict and dynamism.

 Kuleshov Effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kuleshov edited a short film in which shots of the face of Ivan Mozzhukhin (a Tsarist matinee idol) are alternated with various other shots (a plate of soup, a girl, a old woman's coffin).
In Kuleshov's view, the cinema consists of fragments and the assembly of those fragments, the assembly of elements which in reality are distinct.
The montage experiments carried out by Kuleshov in the late 1910s and early 1920s formed the theoretical basis of Soviet montage cinema, culminating in the famous films of the late 1920s by directors such as Sergei Eisenstein, Vsevolod Pudovkin and Dziga Vertov, among others.

 By the Law 1926
Lev Kuleshov (1899-1970), born in Tambov, Russia, was the first aesthetic theorist of film art and one of the first cinema directors under the Bolshevik regime.
He developed what came to be known as the "Kuleshov effect" in which, through montage, each shot acquired a different shade of meaning according to its place in the sequence.
Kuleshov and Sergei Eisenstein disagreed on what the so-called "montage" was, and it's amazing that D.W. Griffith produced "The Birth of a Nation" and "Intolerance" without using the word.

Kuleshov edited a short film in which shots of the face of Ivan Mozzhukhin (a Tsarist matinee idol) are alternated with various other shots (a plate of soup, a woman, a child's coffin).
The film was shown to an audience who believed that the expression on Mozzhukhin's face was different each time he appeared, depending on whether he was `looking at' the plate of soup, the woman, or the child's coffin, showing an expression of hunger, desire or grief respectively.

 Film's Illusions: Kuleshov Revisited
One of the most significant theoretical discoveries in the history of film is the effect discovered by Lev Kuleshov in the early 1920s in the Soviet Union.
The effect discovered by Kuleshov and its practical use by filmmakers in the editing process pertain mainly to the contextual relationships within the structure of the film (or other audio-visual) work as a whole.
In fact, Kuleshov's original experiment involved an isolated shot of the actor Ivan Mozhukin (Mosjoukine) juxtaposed with shots of other isolated images; Kuleshov commented on results of these juxtapositions without including them into a complete film work, or an explicit narrative sequence.

In his booklet notes, Kuleshov stresses his aim to make these showpieces his own, rather than slavishly copy the master.
Kuleshov's technique easily accommodates the pianistic acrobatics sprinkled throughout the Carmen, Wedding March, and Danse Macabre transcriptions, but the musical results lack the textural variety, canny accentuations, rhythmic verve, and dynamic gradations that make Horowitz unique.
Most pianists, however, would give their eyeteeth to sail through these transcriptions with Kuleshov's polish and command, and my quibbles take nothing away from his impressive achievement.

 Film Editing | Activity 2 | Teacher's Resource Guide | YMI, Ltd./AMPAS
Part B. In the 1920s, Russian filmmaker Lev Kuleshov conducted a series of experiments designed to demonstrate that when two separate shots are projected in succession, the viewer assumes a connection between them.
Kuleshov's viewers—who interpreted the sequence as a man and a woman meeting at the gate in front of the mansion—had, in essence, inferred a whole narrative on the basis of seeing only portions of it.
To illustrate the Kuleshov effect, show your students drawings or photographs (as described above) that are not necessarily related, but which, when viewed together, can be mentally connected in time and space to create a brief scene.

 Dziga Vertov: The Idiot
The Kuleshov effect, as eventually raised to sublime heights by the surrealists, is nothing less than a call to anarchy.
Kuleshov’s subtle paradox was this: the less the middle term in a montage signifies or expresses “in itself”, the more it “means” in the juxtaposition of montage – a radical destabilization both of reality and what we ordinarily consider as meaning.
Another dimension of the Kuleshov effect was revealed, as the magic of cinema showed, that sound could profoundly alter and colour the meaning of a particular image.

Ergo, when Kuleshov acquired his films, he could remix them anyway he wanted because he was only manipulating the one copy he owned, not making any additional ones.
I might point out that there seems to be some mixing of the Kuleshov effect, "moral rights" and first sale doctrine in all of this.
That is, the Kuleshov effect is merely the fact that the semantics of a piece of media can change depending on neighboring (in time or space) media.
