Ep. 126 Man With A Movie Camera

What more can possibly be said about Dziga Vertov & Mikhail
Kaufman's Man With a Movie Camera, one of the most studied,
discussed and written-about films ever made? Is everybody sick of
hearing how amazing it is? Perhaps it speaks to the film's timeless
artistic energy and bold experimentation that there's always
something to say about the camera techniques, radical editing and
unique blending of avant-garde and documentary styles which come
together using "no titles, no scenario, no actors, no sets" to
create an "absolute language of cinema." To help get the best
possible insight into this giant artwork, hosts Martin Kessler and
John Cribbs welcome Jeremy Workman, a filmmaker who's taken
inspiration from Vertov in everything from his award-winning film
Lily Topples the World to his latest short documentary Deciding
Vote. How has Workman trained his Kino-Eye to the subjects in front
of his own movie camera? Is a one hour-long, nearly-100 year old
Russian movie's impact so far-reaching that it continues to inspire
modern art and filmmaking around the world? Jeremy Workman's
