Description of this Poster Man with a Movie Camera
Man with a Movie Camera (Russian: Человек с кино-аппаратом, romanized: Chelovek s kino-apparatom) is a 1929 Ukrainian experimental silent documentary film directed by Dziga Vertov and edited by his wife Yelizaveta Svilova.
Vertov’s feature film, produced by the VUFKU film studio, presents urban life in the Soviet cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odessa. There are no actors. From dawn to dusk, Soviet citizens are shown at work and play, and interacting with the machines of modern life. To the extent that the film can be said to have “characters,” they are the cameramen of the title, the film’s editor, and the modern Soviet Union they discover and present in the film.
Man with a Movie Camera is famous for the range of cinematic techniques that Vertov invented, employed, or developed, such as multiple exposure, time-lapse, slow motion, freeze-frame, match cuts, jump cuts, split screens, Dutch angles, extreme close-ups, tracking shots, reverse sequences, stop-motion animation, and self-reflexive visuals (at one point, the film features a split-screen tracking shot; the sides have opposing Dutch angles).
Man with a Movie Camera was widely dismissed upon its initial release; the work’s rapid cutting, self-reflexivity, and emphasis on form over content have been criticized. However, in the British Film Institute’s 2012 Sight & Sound poll, film critics voted it the 8th greatest film ever made, and it was later named the best documentary of all time by the same magazine.
