They lay the foundation for what would become the crux of Vertov’s revolutionary, anti-bourgeois aesthetic wherein the camera is an extension of the human eye, capturing “the chaos of visual phenomena filling the universe.” Over the next decade-and-a-half, Vertov would devote his life to the construction and organization of these raw images, his apotheosis being the landmark 1929 film \u003cem\u003eMan with a Movie Camera\u003c\/em\u003e. In it, he comes closest to realizing his theory of ‘Kino-Eye,’ creating a new, more ambitious and more significant picture than what the eye initially perceives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eNow – thanks to the extraordinary restoration efforts of Lobster Films, Blackhawk Films® Collection, EYE Film Institute, Cinémathèque de Toulouse, and the Centre National de la Cinématographie – Flicker Alley is able to present the four films featured on \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDziga Vertov: The Man with the Movie Camera and Other Newly-Restored Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e in a brand-new, Blu-ray edition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMan with a Movie Camera \u003c\/em\u003e(1929) - Named the best documentary film of all time by \u003cem\u003eSight and Sound\u003c\/em\u003e, it is presented here in its entirety for the first time since its original premiere.
