Russian avant-garde poster. Another of my favs. Designed by the Stenberg Brothers.

The Movie:
What I love most about Russian film is the absolute subtleness that demands the limits of patience. This isn’t a popcorn stuffing, wine drinking, party type of film, it’s the kind that forces you to sit, watch, contemplate, think and feel. The avant garde movement of Russia encompasses a movement between 1890 – 1930 – a period of shifting ideology. This is the time when Rodchenko, the political and aesthetic revolutionary, looked towards a new form of expression. Constructivism was born, killing the the Bourgeois’ way of life — calling the death of easel painting.

Film, poetry, design and art expanded their search for a new expression and we were left with a monumental era.

Man With a Movie Camera is a film through the eyes of a movie camera. Machines and people are followed by the camera’s eyes. Even though the camera aimed at nothing other than the technical approach to what the camera can do – when I saw this movie, it created a heightened sense of paranoia, my heart beat raced and in the end – I felt like the camera itself.
