One of the most innovative and influential films of the silent era, Dziga Vertov’s 1929 Man With A Movie Camera utilizes rapid editing and innumerable other cinematic effects to create a work of amazing modernity and power.

This dawn-to-dusk view of urban Soviet life shows people at work, at play, and at the machines that endlessly whirl to keep the metropolis alive. It was Vertov’s first full-length film, and it employs all the cinematic techniques at the director’s disposal—dissolves, split-screens, slow-motion, and freeze-frames—to produce a work that is as exhilarating as it is intellectually brilliant.

Restored by the British Film Institute, this edition of the silent avant-garde documentary features an orchestral score composed and conducted by Michael Nyman (The Piano).
