V Ar 029

Michail Kaufman (l.) and Dziga Vertov (m.)
Shooting to "Čelovek s kinoapparatom" and/or "Odinnadcatyj", most likely used in both films.
Classification: Photo
Date: 1928
Tapematerial: B/W Photo
Original / Reproduction: Reproduktion
Comments: The dating here was made on the basis of Michail Kaufman’s clothing, since he constantly wore these clothes as the protagonist of "Čelovek s kinoapparatom". The photo clearly illustrates that he really did work as "principal photographer" for the film - as stated in the opening credits - and shot all the scenes in which he was not acting as a fictional character. The shots filmed here by Kaufman (train line) could very likely have been used in "Odinnadcatyj", where such a sequence can be found.
