Dziga Vertov - Retrospective

Film historians place Vertov among the founders of modern cinema. Within the fine arts, Vertov's name is brought up in the context of avant-garde and modern art of the 1920s. In literature, he is placed alongside such Russian futurists as Mayakovsky and Burliuk, and in the political history of the 20^th century, Vertov is seen as an important source of visual information in the dramatic period of the Bolshevik Revolution and the Russian Civil War.
