 In the 1960s , it was learned that Eisenstein 's wife , Pera Attasheva , had saved splices of film from the editing table that was used for Bezhin Meadow . Starting in 1964 , a reconstruction of the film was created and set to a musical score by Sergei Prokofiev by Russian film director Sergei Yutkevich with Eisenstein scholar Naum Kleiman . The film was edited to the original script , to preserve the original cutting continuity ; new intertitles were also created from the script , and a new spoken introduction was added . The film now exists as a 35 @-@ minute " silent film slide show " . In 1988 , the filming of Bezhin Meadow was the focus of a retrospective at the Tisch School of the Arts in New York City . Entitled " Jay Leyda : A Life 's Work " , it focused on Leyda , a professor at the school and the lone American to have studied with Eisenstein at the Moscow State Film Institute ; Leyda had been apprentice director and still photographer on the set . Of the Soviet films from the 1920s and 1930s , Bezhin Meadow is the one that may be most cited in academic works related to film study .
