vorkapich

vorkapich
  this film term was named after Serbian-American film director/editor Slavko Vorkapich; the term 'vorkapich' was popularized in screenplays of the 1930s and 1940s - it meant a montage sequence, that Vorkapich himself called "symphonies of visual movement"
  Examples: Vorkapich's own montage sequences were seen in the Mexican Revolution outbreak in Viva Villa! (1934), the earthquake montage in San Francisco (1936), the famine disaster in The Good Earth (1937), and in Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) in the ultra-patriotic montage of the whirlwind sightseeing bus tour of Washington DC including the Lincoln Memorial, and Meet John Doe (1941)
