Classics Film Night @ Good Company Books

Join the Curious Monkey Film Club for an evening of cinematic charm!

We’re inviting curious and passionate film lovers to join us for a screening of Man with a Movie Camera (1929), considered one of the most innovative and influential films from the silent era. In this version, we follow the beat of the Vertov Cinematic Orchestra.

Whether you're revisiting this timeless gem or watching it for the first time, you're in for a treat.

About the film:

Man with a Movie Camera (1929), directed by the film pioneer Dziga Vertov, is unique in its kind. Part documentary and part cinematic art, this film follows a city in the 1920s Soviet Union, from morning to night. With a wide diversity of complex and innovative camera shots, the film depicts scenes of ordinary daily life. With no titles or narration, Vertov conveys the energy of the modern city through the camera lens.
