Experience a revolutionary look at the day-to-day life of a city through an avant-garde lens in 1929's "Man with a Movie Camera." Groundbreaking director Dziga Vertov showcases the energy and life of Moscow, Kiev, and Odessa through creative editing and innovative film techniques. "Man with a Movie Camera" is a family affair-Vertov enlisted his wife as editor and brother as cameraman in this stunning commentary on Marxist modernity.

Expert Review:
Recently determined by the voters of the Sight & Sound poll to be the eigth greatest film of all time, this silent Soviet piece defies most categorization. A plotless exploration of the life of a city over the course of a day, this is the ultimate piece of experimentation. Director Dziga Vertov tries every single visual trick in the book, and invents a few new ones. A vital milestone in cinematic history. By Daniel Schindel of ScreenPicks
