An Interview with Mikhail Kaufman

Abstract

Kaufman: The idea for The Man with a Movie Camera had already arisen in 1924. How did this idea take shape? Strictly speaking, we needed a Kino-theory and a Kino-program in cinematic form. I suggested such an idea to Vertov, but it could not be realized at that time. There had been a lot of trouble with A Sixth of the World;' we had exceeded the budget, and the film had not been understood and appreciated as it should have been. The Kinoks2 were accused of exaggeration when they claimed they could make successful full-length films.
