The Man With a Movie Camera
(Chelovek s kinoapparatom)

Live Piano Accompaniment by Yakov Gubanov
Screening on Film

Directed by Dziga Vertov.
USSR, 1928, 35mm, black & white, silent, 80 min.

Truly an experimental documentary, Vertov's masterpiece vividly exemplifies the montage aesthetic of the Soviet avant-garde of the 1920s, with its quick juxtaposition of shots and sped-up and slowed-down cinematography. Using his own concept of the "Kino Eye"—the cinema's eye, which illuminates the real world as not ordinarily seen—Vertov creates a vivid city symphony depicting an exuberant day in the life of his Moscow metropolis.
