“I am an eye. A mechanical eye. I am the machine that reveals the world to you as only the machine can see it.” – Dziga Vertov (Kino-Eye)
These words, written in 1923 (only a year after Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North was released) reflect the Soviet pioneer’s developing approach to cinema as an art form that shuns traditional or Western narrative in favor of images from real life. They lay the foundation for what would become the crux of Vertov’s revolutionary, anti-bourgeois aesthetic wherein the camera is an extension of the human eye, capturing “the chaos of visual phenomena filling the universe.” Over the next decade-and-a-half, Vertov would devote his life to the construction and organization of these raw images, his apotheosis being the landmark 1929 film Man with a Movie Camera. In it, he comes closest to realizing his theory of ‘Kino-Eye,’ creating a new, more ambitious and more significant picture than what the eye initially perceives.
Here are the four masterpieces by Dziga Vertov, pioneers of Soviet cinema, in new restorations, presented by Lobster Films, the Cinematheque de Toulouse (celebrating its 50th anniversary) and the EYE Film Institute (Amsterdam).
ENTHUSIASM / THE SYMPHONY OF THE DONBASS (1931) and THREE SONGS ON LENIN (1934), from the copies of the Cinematheque de Toulouse, reveal an unknown face of the Soviet Union and of the cinema of the time.
A reference box, to discover the work of a great master in luminous copies, such as we had probably never seen them. Man with a Movie Camera and Kino-Eye feature musical accompaniments by Alloy Orchestra and Robert Israel respectively, while original soundtracks have been restored for Enthusiasm and Three Songs About Lenin.

THE MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA is an absolute reference film and voted best documentary of all time in the 2014 Sight and Sound poll, is presented here in its entirety for the first time since its original premiere, consistent with the editing and the original image. Vertov’s ground breaking Man with a Movie Camera uses an array of dazzling cinematic techniques to record the people of the city at work and at play, and the machines that keep the city going. Discovered and restored at EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam-with extensive digital treatment by Lobster Films-the 35mm print from which this edition is, in part, sourced is the only known complete version of the film.
