  Given a limited amount of time for an intro to silents, I think Potmekin is a pretty safe rec. Is Bed and Sofa available on DVD? Our OP is in UK.

      Sergei Mikhailovich Eizenshtein. Battleship Potemkin/Bronenosets Potyomkin.
      
      He was born in Riga but I think he went to school in St. Petersburg, fought in the Red Army. Came to Hollyweird in the mid-twenties and was fired by the studio and then deported for being a Communist.
      
      Ah...when I get some of the current workload outa the way I'll put it in my Netflix que.
