Toronto Silent Film Festival

THE IMAGES SPEAK LOUDER ...

This exhilarating experimentation of filming and editing knocks the audience for a loop with its playful and provocative style. Its expression of ideas without words turns it from a documentary of the day of the life of a Soviet city to an escalating feast for the eyes. Non-linear, Vertov, in his effort to show the depth and precision of images caught by a movie camera, makes a textbook on filmmaking and editing. Climb into this fascinating time machine and go on the cinematic joy ride.
