Russia/1929/68mins/no cert. Dir: Dziga Vertov.

Vertov’s avant-garde but highly accessible masterpiece is an intense but very human visual poem on the city and the magical process of filmmaking. Shot in Moscow and other Soviet cities, Man With a Movie Camera is a highly constructed vision of modernity displaying endless inventiveness in terms of camerawork, editing and cinematic effects. The film’s dual narratives of the life of the city and of the making of the film itself interweave with a breathtaking rhythm, overlaid with the recurring image of the cinematographer and his striding, tripod mounted camera.
