Dziga Vertov: The Man with the Movie Camera and Other Newly-Restored Works

Man with a Movie Camera (1929) A man with a movie camera films people, places, objects. The film camera is an actor in the filming process itself: in the air, underground, in the thick of things. The cinema eye, which observes, captures the slightest nuances, without giving an assessment, without following the script. Kinoglaz (1924) Documentary film about the new state - the USSR. It is a collection of short episodes about the life of the Soviet Union, united in the series “Life by surprise.” Much attention is paid to children and their pioneer organization. Also shown are the cooperatives of that time, an elephant, the fight against tuberculosis, emergency medical care, a madhouse, and physics classes for workers. Enthusiasm: Symphony of Donbass (1931) While the Komsomol members were improving the life and productivity of the All-Union firehouse and giving the country coal, Dziga Vertov was making a film about their labor feat. Three Songs about Lenin (1934) In Europe, in America, in Africa and even in the Arctic Circle, people sing songs about Lenin, the friend and liberator of the oppressed.
