Dialectical montage is a film editing technique that juxtaposes contrasting images or ideas to create a new meaning. This method, associated with Sergei Eisenstein, aims to provoke thought and emotional responses from the audience by presenting opposing viewpoints or themes side by side. By combining different shots, dialectical montage encourages viewers to engage critically with the content. The clash of images can highlight social issues or philosophical concepts, making the audience reflect on the relationship between the visuals. This approach is often used in Soviet cinema to convey complex narratives and ideologies.
