Just a correction, as the Nazis certainly weren't working with someone named Riefenstein. It's Leni Riefenstahl of course.
Eisenstein is a hugely influential figure in cinema history in terms of his montage technique, particularly with The Battleship Potemkin. Another influential figure working in Russia at the same time was Dziga Vertov whose Man with a Movie Camera (1929) is stunning.
