Description:
The Man with a Movie Camera (1929) is a groundbreaking Soviet silent documentary directed by Dziga Vertov. Filmed in Moscow and Kiev, it forgoes spoken narration and intertitles, instead relying on rhythmic editing, innovative camera work, and bold montage to portray urban life, industry, transport, and daily routines. Through playful experimentation - ceiling-to-floor shots, superimpositions, and fast/slow motion - it probes how the camera shapes perception and truth, influencing modern documentary cinema.
