Vsevolod Illarionovich Pudovkin () (February 16, 1893 - June 20, 1953) was a Russian film director who developed influential theories of montage. Pudovkin's masterpieces are often contrasted with those of his contemporary Sergei Eisenstein, but whereas Eisenstein utilized montage to glorify the power of the masses, Pudovkin preferred to concentrate on the courage and resilience of individuals.
