Vertov is one of the main innovators in the history of cinema. The Director made the first sound film in the USSR

used slow-mo-the slow-motion effect-and came up with techniques that are still used in cinema.In the earliest years of Soviet cinema

he firmly chose his path in art. Strict adherence to a film document - meaningful

selected from many others

poeticized by feeling

a film document reflecting real life

life “without a mask”

without a game

showing it as it appeared before the “eye” of a movie camera raised by the artist to the rank of a movie camera wizard - these are the beliefs

to whom Vertov remained faithful until the end of his days. In the assertion of the mighty power of documentary filmmaking

fertile soil was created for the expression of his talent

for the flourishing of his creative personality.
