About this Event
MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA
Seattle — Live Cinema Concert
Following a successful tour and two sold-out performances in New York, Taras Luka’s Man WIth A Camera comes to Seattle.
Experience one of the greatest films in cinema history in a unique live performance.
Join Ukrainian-Canadian composer and pianist Taras Luka for a special Live Cinema Concert featuring his original score performed live in synchronization with Dziga Vertov’s legendary 1929 silent masterpiece Man With a Movie Camera.
Produced in Ukraine by VUFKU and filmed in Kyiv, Odesa, and Kharkiv, Man With a Movie Camera is internationally recognized as one of the most influential films ever created. In the prestigious Sight & Sound critics’ poll, it has been ranked among the greatest films of all time and recognized as one of the most important documentary works in cinema history.
Created without actors, costumes, sets, or a traditional script, the film captures a single day in the life of a modern city. Through radical editing, rhythmic montage, and bold visual experimentation, Dziga Vertov transformed everyday reality into a dynamic cinematic symphony.
In this special presentation, the silent film is accompanied by an original live score composed and performed by Taras Luka, transforming the screening into an immersive audiovisual experience where silent cinema meets contemporary piano music.
After its successful tour and two sold-out performances in New York, the project now arrives in the Seattle area, bringing Ukrainian avant-garde cinema and contemporary live music to a new audience.
This is a unique opportunity to experience a landmark of Ukrainian cinema through a powerful dialogue between film and live music.
