“Considered one of the most innovative and influential films of the silent era” (Kino Lorber), Dziga Vertov’s documentary was formed from the idea to film life as it is. A series of rapidly-edited images with no dialogue shows the life of a city from sunrise to sunset, focusing on its buildings and machinery as it explores post-Soviet revolution industrialization. 1929, 16mm transferred to video, 68 minutes.
Note: On June 5, the screening ends at 4:30 pm due to a special event.
