The Man With the Movie Camera

Innovative avant garde silent film by pioneering documentarian Dziga Vertov uses the camera lens as the audience's "eye," as all manner of cinematic devices in their infancy--fast and slow motion, stop-motion animation, double exposures, split screens, and more--are utilized to craft a bizarre chronicle of an average day in the Soviet Union (actually filmed over three years in four cities). 68 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score. Silent with music score.
