MICHAEL NYMAN PERFORMING LIVE TO KINOPRAVDA 21 [15]

Dziga Vertov / 35m / 1925

The Austrian Film Museum in association with Wallflower Press and
Curzon Cinemas present a world premiere of Michael Nyman’s new score to Dziga
Vertov’s film KINOPRAVDA 21, to be performed at this special screening
by the composer himself.

A screening of Vertov’s landmark (originally silent) MAN WITH A MOVIE
CAMERA, with a pre-recorded Nyman score will precede this special solo
performance. The event coincides with the launch in the UK of a new
publication on the director, published by the Austrian Film Museum and
distributed through Wallflower Press, which provides extensive access
to previously unseen archive material from Dziga Vertov’s archive. Dziga
Vertov- The Vertov Collection will be on sale at this event for the
special
price of £12.

MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA [15]

Dziga Vertov / 65m / 1929

Vertov’s best-known film is also his most mysterious. Behind the main
idea of a film about a film being made - which is also the film we’re
watching - lie a series of coded references to topical events (should the Bolshoi
be demolished?) and to the lure of fiction films. A manifesto certainly,
but still magical.
