Soviet Union · 1929 · 68’ · silent · variable musical accompaniment
Director: Dziga Vertov

A manifesto-film that revolutionized the language of cinema. Dziga Vertov documents a day in Soviet urban life through an experimental montage interweaving factories, streets, crowds, and everyday gestures. Without plot or actors, the camera itself becomes both mechanical eye and conscience, capable of capturing reality and transforming it into pure visual experience.

Part of the exhibition Richard Paul Lohse.
