In 1930, the Russian avant-garde filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein spent six months in Los Angeles. He had a contract with Paramount Pictures. Ten years later, from 1941 to 1947, the German playwright and director Bertolt Brecht, a refugee from Nazi Germany, lived there. Both had set out to make films in Hollywood on their own terms. While working for the world-famous dream factory, they believed artists had to challenge the way we understand our world. They wanted to produce art that was popular and radical at the same time.
