"Kino-Eye: An Introduction" (to appear in IL CINEMA RUSSO IN 12 FILM)

AI-generated Abstract

The paper discusses Dziga Vertov's film "Kino-Eye" as a culmination of his earlier work in the "Kino-Pravda" series, emphasizing its experimental nature and its reflections on authorship and mass participation in cinema. It explores Vertov's intentions to create a documentary form that integrates the activities of the Young Pioneers, while simultaneously critiquing the traditional roles of filmmakers as directors and authors. The analysis reveals how "Kino-Eye" navigates the tension between collective authorship and individual artistic vision, ultimately positioning itself within the larger discourse of Soviet revolutionary cinema.
