This essay looks at the history of montage in the early 20th century, and combines the idea of montage with other art practises such as poetry. The article begins with a history of montage, and delves into the lives of key theorists such as Eisenstein.
Reid looks at scenes which champion montage, specifically ones that can relate back to creativity in poetry, as in, combining elements in some form of horizontal or vertical plain. Furthermore he takes it a step further, referencing the film Dal: Ymar/Nawr, a film about poetry, which uses montage as a means of communicating the poem themselves. This, Reid argues, helps to reinforce this relationship between poetry and montage, as a way of communicating different, but relevant, ideas into one form.
This is an interesting look at the history of montage and how it has the potential to translate across different art forms, perhaps questioning it’s originality in cinema in the first place.
