  abstract: The Mysteries is part of the film retrospective Unseen Cinema that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. One of three films released through Hollywood independent producer Sol Lesser in 1932-34, "Death Day" is comprised of footage shot by Sergei Eisenstein for his unfinished film "Que viva Mexico!" This short subject focuses on the Day of the Dead festivities held in Mexico and pays homage to the artist José Guadalupe Posada. Though Eisenstein did not edit this short film seen here, his exquisite sense and views of Mexico and its people, culture and traditions is clearly evident. --Bruce Posner Sergei Eisenstein's name is synonymous with 20th century avant-garde art. The Russian genius created films and film theories based upon "intellectual montage" he created through a synthesis of cinematography, editing, and later, sound recordings and music. Around the globe, advanced filmgoers eagerly awaited his radical films and associated musings on the cinema, and his influence upon '20s and '30s American cinema was unprecedented, serving as an inspiration for amateurs and professionals alike. In 1930, he traveled to the U.S., and then Mexico, in an unsuccessful attempt to make a film in Hollywood. His presence in the Americas stimulated much debate within experimental film circles. --Bruce Posner. 35mm 1.33:1 black and white sound 15:20 minutes. Production: Mexican Picture Trust, Principal Pictures.
