Dziga Vertov's Kino-Eye

Overview

A new film from the series "Stars of the Russian avant-garde" will tell about the difficult fate of the creation of Dziga Vertov's movie masterpiece "A Man with a movie camera". Vertov, the founder of the Kino-Eye or Kino-Oko group of fighters for pure documentary cinema, had to overcome seven obstacles in order to shoot and show this amazing film. For example, Lilya Brik, having decided to make her film debut, borrowed the idea of the film "A Man with a movie Camera" and launched a parallel project "Glass Eye". In the film you will see a newsreel with Dziga Vertov, the best shots from his paintings of Dziga Vertov, as well as excerpts of the film Lily Brick.
