Achievements
Eisenschitz modelled himself on the film historian Georges Sadoul, the definitive edition of whose masterwork, the Histoire générale du cinéma, he edited. Eisenschitz is an internationally known expert on Fritz Lang and Nicholas Ray, as well as Chris Marker and Robert Kramer. He has worked and published on Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, Ernst Lubitsch, German cinema and the history of the Cinémathèque française, among other topics.
Eisenschitz wrote for Cahiers du cinéma between about 1967 and 1972, and for La nouvelle critique from 1970 to 1977. In 2001, he founded the periodical Cinéma. In the same year, he completed the definitive restoration of Jean Vigo's film L'Atalante and made a documentary on the film's different restorations entitled Les Voyages de L'Atalante.
He has on occasion appeared as an actor in films for director-friends of his, for example in Jacques Rivette's Out 1, La Maman et la Putain by Jean Eustache, Le Prestige de la mort by Luc Moullet, and in films by Otar Iosseliani, Wim Wenders et Amos Gitaï. He is a regular speaker at film screenings and festivals including the archival festival Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna.
The film critic Jacques Mandelbaum has said of Eisenschitz that "Traducteur, historien du cinéma, programmateur, réalisateur et acteur à l'occasion, Eisenschitz est l'une de ces figures secrètes de la cinéphilie dont l'érudition et la finesse de touche se rendent toujours disponibles à qui les sollicite" [Translator, film historian, programmer, director and occasional actor, Eisenschitz is one of those secret cinephiliac figures whose erudition and subtlety are always at the disposal of those who ask].
