This film is not only Vertov's masterpiece and final film of the silent era, it is a work which notably exemplifies the montage aesthetic of the Soviet avant-garde of the twenties. A city symphony filmed in Moscow and Odessa, the film is a continually shifting kaleidoscope of breathtaking imagery that captures the spirit of Russian life at that time. Featuring a. live original score by Austin, TX band Montopolis. Cosponsored with the Wharton Studio Museum. More at www.montopolismusic.com/man-with-a-movie-camera
