Edouard Tissé (1897 - 1961) Biography from Baseline Occupation: Director of photography Born As: Eduard Kazimirovich Tissé Born: April 1, 1897, Stockholm, Sweden Died: 1961, Moscow, USSR Highly regarded cinematographer who came to prominence as Sergei Eisenstein's cameraman of choice. Tissé, born to a Swedish mother and Russian father, got his start as a newsreel photographer covering the Russian Revolution and shot the first Soviet-sponsored feature, SIGNAL (1918). After photographing Eisenstein's silent classics, he accompanied the director and his assistant, Grigori Alexandrov, on their trip to the West, collaborating with the latter on the short ROMANCE SENTIMENTALE (1931) in France, as well as shooting Eisenstein's celebrated Mexican footage. A formidable technician, Tissé was noted for his speed, precision, and for the exquisite luminosity he achieved in black-and-white features such as ALEXANDER NEVSKY (1938). Tissé also worked with Vsevolod Pudovkin (HUNGER, HUNGER, HUNGER, 1921) and Alexander Dovzhenko (AEROGRAD, 1935), as well as on Alexandrov's GLINKA (1952). He co-directed one film, the Swiss-produced WOMAN HAPPY, WOMAN UNHAPPY (1929), on the subject of abortion. 1918 SIGNAL photography 1921 HUNGER…HUNGER…HUNGER photography 1925 POTEMKIN/BRONENOSETS POTYOMKIN/BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN cinematographer 1928 OCTOBER/OKTYABAR/TEN DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD photography, performer 1929 WOMAN HAPPY, WOMAN UNHAPPY co-director 1930 ROMANCE SENTIMENTALE photography 1935 AEROGRAD photography 1938 ALEXANDER NEVSKY/ALEKSANDR NEVSKI cinematographer 1943 IVAN THE TERRIBLE, PART ONE/IVAN GROZNY PART I cinematographer 1946 IN THE MOUNTAINS OF YUGOSLAVIA photography 1946 IVAN THE TERRIBLE, PART TWO/IVAN GROZNY PART II cinematographer 1949 MEETING ON THE ELBE/VSTRECHA NA ELBE photography 1952 GLINKA/KOMPOZITOR GLINKA photography 1979 QUE VÍVA MEXICO/TIME IN THE SUN photography
