Man With a Movie Camera (Checloveks Kinoapparotom)

Using his kino eye theory of identifying the camera lens with the human eye, Dziga Vertov attempts to show life as it is actually lived. It destroys illusions and is a study in film truth on an almost philosophical level. There is animation, trick photography, etc., in photographing people, things, and events in Moscow. At the end of the film, the camera takes a curtain call bow for its ubiquitous, gymnastic performance. Silent, to be shown at 18 frames per second
