| Comments |
Soviet film director well know for his work with the Kino -Eye movement, Vertov held the idea that the camera was a scientific improvement on the human eye and would allow the world to be seen in a superior fashion. His writings, which largely advocated for a triumph of documentary over narrative cinema, inspired generations of documentary filmakers. His most famous work, Man With a Movie Camera, consists of a travelling cameraman recording the everyday goings on in the world. He was also one of the first directors to get into self-reflexivity in film, ie.exposing the apparatus.
