Man With a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov) Movie Poster
Man with a movie camera is a fantastic montage created by Dziga Vertov in the 1930s. With no actors, story, or a made-up set, Dziga Vertov’s “Man with a movie camera” is a one-of-a-kind film that takes its audience on a scintillating cinematic journey. This montage (a more fitting description of this docu-film) showcases the fast-paced urban life of four cities of the Soviet Union. While the movie largely showcases the social lives and ways of the city dwellers – the man who follows these people around with the camera comes out as a strong character, who is, in his unique way, taking the audience through a narrative without words. While the movie doesn’t follow a script or dwells on a definitive subject, it can be seen that the man and the camera largely remain the subject of the film.
This poster was a self-initiated project to accompany the blog that I had to write for my general studies program at Srishti School of Arts, Design, and Technology. While we were asked only to write weekly blogs, I wanted to make my blogs more fun and visual, hence decided to go with a poster. There are 3 more posters in this blog series, which can be found on my profile on behance.
