A cameraman wanders around with a camera slung over his shoulder, documenting urban life with dazzling inventiveness.
Directed by: Dziga Vertov
Cast: Mikhail Kaufman, a few staged situations. This includes some of the cameraman's actions, and chess pieces being swept to the center of the board (a shot spliced in backwards so the pieces expand outward, and then walking off screen, including an unmanned camera on a tripod standing up, showing off its mechanical parts, stand in position). Stop-motion is used for several shots, the scene of a woman getting dressed
