Jay Leyda (12 Feb 1910 - 15 Feb 1988)
“In 1929, Jay Leyda moved from Ohio to New York City to work as an assistant for photographer/filmmaker Ralph Steiner. His short film ‘A Bronx Morning’ earned Leyda a filmmaking fellowship with Sergei Eisenstein at VGIK in Moscow (1933-36) and led to his editing and translating Eisenstein’s major writings. Returning to New York, Leyda worked at The Museum of Modern Art, began a study of D.W. Griffith, and assisted on many late ‘30s documentaries. Best known for his histories of Soviet and Chinese films, he was also a scholar of Melville, Mussorgsky, and Emily Dickinson.”
