Man with a Movie Camera
One day in the life of a city, told only in pictures.
A cameraman roams Soviet cities from dawn to dusk in a wordless, restlessly inventive portrait of modern life and of filmmaking itself.
Directed by Dziga Vertov · Edited by Elizaveta Svilova · Starring Mikhail Kaufman
Why this film is free to watch
It was published in 1929. In the United States, films published in 1930 or earlier are now in the public domain, so they belong to everyone.
It is a silent film: the story is told in pictures and title cards. Haukley plays it as it was released, so some copies have a music track and some play in silence.
