Film Club - Man With A Movie Camera (1929)

Watch the film in your own time and join us for a chat on the night.

Ross's pick tonight and its a contenter for greatest film ever made, so so enjoyable too.

Everything you love about cinema is here and in perfectly realised form.

We're watching the BFI restoration version but with a score by Cinematic Orchestra, there are dozens of scores available, this one is just perfect for today.

It's easily accesible on youtube and super short at just over an hour....great night for newbies! Come, its a proper treat of a film.

Made in 1929, this unclassifiable film is the work of pioneering Soviet experimenter David Kaufman, whose pseudonym Dziga Vertov means “spinning top” – if you like, cinema’s original dizzy rascal. Man With a Movie Camera came top in Sight & Sound’s poll of greatest documentaries, and to this day it looks and feels like nothing else.

We have a film link on our Whatsapp but have had to keep that invite private as we were getting spammed.

Come along to a pub chat, we chat about loads of other film and tv, and we'll get you signed up to Whatsapp for future meets.
