Kino Eye

Киноглаз

1924 · 78 min · SU

Directed by Dziga Vertov

No actors and no story: Young Pioneers campaign in a village, a market trades, a camp goes up. Vertov wants the camera to catch what the eye skips, and then he shows you what that means by running film backward, so that a side of beef reassembles into a bull that walks out of the slaughterhouse and a loaf of bread returns to the field.
