The director of the the 1958 Palme d'Or-  winning
One director from this country passed a camera along a zipline to track a street protest incited by the death of Enrique,  who wimps out on sniping a bald dictator. The same director from this country produced a movie in which Mark is always  rejected by Veronika, who awaits letters from her dead soldier boyfriend. The director of the the 1958 Palme d'Or-  winning The Cranes are Flying was from this country. Another director from this country depicted twenty-four hours in  the life of a city by zooming rapidly between images, such as one of a (*) cameraman trying to set up the best shot. Another  movie from this country, the setting of The Man with a Movie Camera, contains a shot of a bloodied nurse with broken glasses  and a carriage tumbling down several steps, and depicts a 1905 mutiny caused by maggot-infested meat being fed to sailors. For  10 points, name this home of Michael Kalatozov, Dziga Vertov, and the director of The Battleship Potemkin, Sergei Eisenstein.
