- Title
Dziga Vertov and the Kino-Eye.
- Authors

- Abstract
If Vertov's influence is not felt formally, then it is at least felt spiritually by the best of his successors seeking to rediscover the emancipatory potential of film. Just before the end of the third reel of I Kino Eye i , Vertov films a group of young divers, in one shot positioning the camera looking down into the water from atop the platform from which they dive. Because of Vertov's drive to establish a new way of making cinema suited to the times, his films have an almost didactic element to them (or in the case of his many newsreels and propaganda films, an explicitly propagandistic purpose).
