Man With A Movie Camera Dziga Vertov, 1929

“Man With A Movie Camera” is an experimental 1929 Soviet silent documentary film directed by Dziga Vertov. The film is about a man traveling around a city with a camera slung over his shoulder, documenting urban life with dazzling invention. It is at once a documentary of a day in the life of the Soviet Union, a documentary of the filming of said documentary, and a depiction of an audience watching the film. The film is known for its use of innovative techniques such as jump cuts, odd angles, split screens, double exposures, extreme close-ups and rapid-fire montage to document the interaction of the ordinary Soviet citizen with the hectic rhythm of life.
