Man With a Movie Camera DVD

Vertov, Dziga

Man With a Movie Camera is an extraordinary piece of filmmaking, a montage of urban Russian life showing the people of the city at work and at play, and the machines that keep the city going. It was Vertov’s first full-length film, and he used all the cinematic techniques at his disposal - dissolves, split screen, slow motion and freeze-frames - to produce a work that is exhilarating and intellectually brilliant.

This special edition DVD features a unique soundtrack specially composed by Michael Nyman and performed by the Michael Nyman band.

Michael Nyman’s music has reached its largest audience by way of his film scores. Nyman has been researching the period of extraordinary creativity which followed the Revolution and lasted throughout most of the 1920s. Key to this period was Dziga Vertov’s extraordinary film Man With a Movie Camera which documents the full spectrum of 1929 Soviet urban life with dazzling inventiveness. It was Vertov’s exuberant montage and energetic lyricism which inspired Nyman to create his extraordinary score.
