At Library No. 210 — the cultural center of A.T. Tvardovsky — a meeting of the film club “The Obviousness of the Film” will take place. Participants will discuss Dziga Vertov’s film “The Man with a Movie Camera.” Lecturer and researcher of culture and literature Viktor Khodenko will talk about the features and philosophical basis of this 1924 documentary film.

“Kinoglaz” is not merely a chronicle but a manifesto of a group of kino-eyes who proclaimed a rejection of actors, sets, and script in favor of “life by surprise.” The meeting will analyze Vertov’s visual techniques — the “poetry of the machine,” which gives birth to a new man on screen — and discuss how the theory of kino-eyes influenced documentary cinema and 20th-century art.
