Man with a Movie Camera / Человек с киноаппаратом by Dziga Vertov (aka David Kaufman), Elizaveta Svilova (editor), and Mikhail Abramovich Kaufman (cinematographer), Part 2.
Picking up from the last post, much of the rest of this silent black and white film proceeds at a dizzying pace, with quieter interludes. On display are various social activities ranging from marriage and divorce to birth and death and funeral cememonies.
Velocity. Various sports, Motorcycles, racing, high jumping, swimming at a beach, sunbathing, manufacturing, processing, walking, napping on benches. Checkers, chess.
A short-haired woman puts on a bra, or brassière. Remember, this is a 1929 release, and the style was still fairly new. This activity happens earlier in the film.
Today's Rune: Gateway.
