Man With A Movie Camera (Человек с Киноаппаратом) by Dziga Vertov is a silent documentary from 1929. The film develops its ideas purely visually, without a conventional story. City scenes, people, and machinery are elements in a tour-de-force of pre-talkies cinematic language and editing. Vertov's brother Mikhail Kaufman plays the part of the cameraman (above); Vertov's wife, Yelizaveta Svilova, was the editor.
