Explain how the political, social and economic upheaval created by the aftermath of both the  Russian Revolution and WW1 affected the production and content of classic Soviet Constructivist Cinema.

When The Bolsheviks seized power in 1917, they attempted to get rid of old ‘bourgeois’ elements in society. A new wave off experimentation came in called avant-garde where due to the new government and end of war a more modernised and futuristic culture came in. Cinema was being experimented with and new innovative ideas were being shown on screen.
