Man with the Movie Camera (1929)
In this course on Revolutionary Russia, we first turn to Dziga Vertov’s Man with the Movie Camera. Made at the end of the 1920s, Vertov’s film celebrates the early socialist city and its inhabitants, while also exploring the making of film itself. After viewing the film with the music provided by the Alloy Orchestra, we will view it a second time with the art historian Yuri Tsivian’s commentary.
