Question: When did the director of film The General Line die?

Knowledge 1: The General Line
The General Line, also known as Old and New , is a 1929 Soviet drama film directed by Sergei Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov."The General Line" was begun in 1927 as a celebration of the collectivization of agriculture, as championed by old-line Bolshevik Leon Trotsky.Hoping to reach a wide audience, the director forsook his usual practice of emphasizing groups by concentrating on a single rural heroine.Eisenstein briefly abandoned this project to film , in honour of the 10th anniversary of the Revolution.By the time he was able to return to this film, the Party's attitudes had changed and Trotsky had fallen from grace.As a result, the film was hastily re-edited and sent out in 1929 under a new title, "The Old and the New".In later years, archivists restored "The General Line" to an approximation of Eisenstein's original concept.Much of the director's montage-like imagery—such as using simple props to trace the progress from the agrarian customs of the 19th-century to the more mechanized procedures of the 20th—was common to both versions of the film.
