Kino Eye (1924, 78 mins.): One of the most important works in the history of film, Dziga Vertov's Kino-Eye is considered by many to be the height of early Soviet cinema and of the early documentary movement in general. Following his manifesto of kino-pravda (film truth), Vertov crafted this film from candid shots of people who were unaware that they were being filmed. The film demonstrates a near-perfect sense of structural symmetry as it honors the real life it so beautifully captures. This digitally remastered version includes a fine musical score composed by Robert Israel. Three Songs About Lenin (1934, 59 mins.): In his last feature film, Vertov paid homage to Russia's great leader with three examinations of life in the Soviet Union. "In a Black Prison Was My Face," "We Loved Him" and "In the Great City of Stone" explore the life of Lenin, while showing the effect he had upon the nation and its people. Through exquisite images and masterful editing, Vertov paints a living portrait of Vladimir Lenin unequalled by all of the dry rhetoric of history books. In Russian with English subtitles. Dziga Vertov---USSR---1924/1934---137 mins.

Dziga Vertov's masterpiece is an application of "life as it is lived." It makes the cameraman the hero, and is one of the most dynamic experiments with montage; the film also uses trick photography, animation, slow motion and speeded-up shots. "A study in film truth on an almost philosophical level. It does deliberately what others try hard to avoid--destroys its own illusions, in the hope that reality will emerge from the process not as a creature of screen illusion but as a liberated spirit" (Films and Filming). Silent. Dziga Vertov---USSR---1928---69 mins.
