Film Studies Daily Log

Wednesday, March 31
Before finishing Man With a Movie Camera we discussed briefly what students saw on Tuesday. What is the film about? (Possible answers: making and watching a movie, vision, the post-revolutionary Russian seeing themselves as a people, the workers seeing themselves as a revolutionary class, the filmmakers seeing themselves as revolutionary workers, etc.)
We also rewatched the beginning and one other section of the film with voiceover narration by film scholar Yuri Tsivian.

Mr. P was out; students watched the first 49 minutes of Dziga Vertov's Man With a Movie Camera.
