    • Synopsis
    • At the age of 22, Dziga Vertov began his career creating an epic documentary revealing the events of the Russian Revolution. The events that took place from February 1917, the February bourgeois revolution, to the autumn of 1918, the start of the Russian Civil War.
      The film’s cinematic uniqueness is the fact that this was the first full-length documentary of this size in history. Vertov made the film within 10-12 days, while keeping in mind the entire sequence of the picture, which contained more than 1000 shots.
      Not a single copy of the film survived even though, in the early 1920s, “Anniversary of the Revolution” served as the basis for many editing tapes. For many decades it was considered lost until the Russian film historian and filmmaker Nikolai Izvolov brought it back to life.
