Man with a Movie CameraDziga Vertov's most famous and iconic film is a joyous celluloid poem utilising all the techniques of experimental silent film including split-screen, superimposition and vertiginous montage.
A major influence on Godard and others post-1968, Vertov's extraordinary achievement remains one of the most contemporary and humanistically modernist portraits of the city ever put on film.
