Stephen Broomers Potamkin
In 1933, at age 33, Harry Alan Potamkin (b. Philadelphia, 1900) died of complications related to starvation, at a time when he was one of the world's most respected film critics, In his writings, he advocated for a cinema that would simultaneously embrace the fractures and polyphony of modern life and the equitable social vision of left radical politics, embracing the possibility of social justice during the rise of industrialization (Chris Kennedy). Nowhere near biography, Stephen Broomers astonishing Potamkin (2017) hypothesizes the critics matrix of thought as a metallurgical audiovisual amalgam of almost 100 films from cinemas first three decades (among them Eisensteins Battleship Potemkin, Dreyers The Passion of Joan of Arc and Langs Metropolis) as well as verbal citations of Potamkins criticism and poetry. At the Odessa steps, trampling gives breath to the child.
