Man with a Movie Camera (Region B)

Man with a Movie Camera (Region B)

Voted one of the ten best films ever made in the Sight & Sound 2012 poll, and the best documentary ever in a subsequent poll in 2014,Ā Man With A Movie CameraĀ (Chelovek s kinoapparatom) stands as one of cinema’s most essential documents – a dazzling exploration of the possibilities of image-making as related to the everyday world around us.

The culmination of a decade of experiments to render ā€œthe chaos of visual phenomena filling the universeā€, Dziga Vertov’s masterwork uses a staggering array of cinematic devices to capture the city at work and at play, as well as the machines that power it.

Presented in a definitive new restoration from EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam and Lobster Films, the film is also presented with other works by Vertov both before and after his masterpiece – Kino-EyeĀ (1924),Ā Kino-Pravda #21Ā (1925),Ā Enthusiasm: Symphony of the DonbassĀ (1931) andĀ Three Songs About LeninĀ (1934) – in this limited-edition Dual-Format edition.
