The 21st Cork French Film Festival present
Man With A Movie Camera
Thurs 4th March | 9pm
The Pavilion
Admission: €12 / €10 conc
Live Soundtrack by Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague)
Not merely a cinematic portrait of a day in the life of a city, cinema pioneer Dziga Vertov's Man With A Movie Camera is an experimental manifesto of vision.
Controversial when it was created in 1929, the film still pulses with the energy and innovation of Vertov's genius. Man With A Movie Camera transcended documentary filmmaking with its sheer innovation, and sublimely fluid vision of man, machine, and society.
There have been numerous soundtracks over the years that have attempted to provide Vertov's stunning images with the musical accompaniment they deserve, such as Michael Nyman's minimalist take or Cinematic Orchestra's recent rendition.
Marc Collin of French group Nouvelle Vague has composed a soundtrack exploring the link between soviet industrial esthetics and minimal electronic music. Deep soundscapes and pulsing rhythms synergise the evocative editing, differing film speeds and rhythmic graphic composition seamlessly. His soundtrack features on the recent dvd release of Man With A Movie Camera in France.
