> Dziga Vertov's 1929 film Man With A Movie Camera records the  
> progression of one full day synthesizing footage shot in Moscow,  
> Riga, and Kiev. The film begins with titles that declare it "an  
> experiment in the cinematic communication of visible events without  
> the aid of intertitles, without the aid of a scenario, without the  
> aid of theater." It is often described as an urban documentary yet  
> the subject of the film is also the film itself –from the role of  
> the cameraman to that of the editor to its projection in a theatre  
> and the response of the audience. It is a film within a film made  
> with a range of inventive effects –dissolves, split screen, slow  
> motion, freeze frame–all of which are now embedded in digital  
> editing software.
>
> 2008: Man With a Movie Camera is a participatory video shot by  
> people around the world who are invited to record video according  
> to the original script of Vertov's Man With A Movie Camera and  
> submit it to a website which will archive, sequence and deliver the  
> submissions to The Big Screen ( www.bbc.co.uk/bigscreens/) in  
> 2007-08. When the work streams your contribution becomes part of a  
> worldwide montage, in Vertov's terms the "decoding of life as it is."
>
> This website contains every shot in Vertov's 1929 film along with  
> thumbnails representing the beginning middle and end of each shot.
>
> You are invited to interpret Vertov and upload your footage to this  
> site to become part of the database. See the Scene Index.
>
> PRESENTATION
> 2008:Man With a Movie Camera will be streamed on four public  
> screens in the UK beginning in October 2007 on the Big Screen  
> Manchester
