Cinema time
Konangal Film Society is screening a documentary and short film on February 17 (Sunday) at 5.45 p.m. at Ashwin Hospital Auditorium, Ganapathy.
The Russian, Man with a movie camera (1929) by Dziga Vertov is a silent film with music.
The film uses radical editing techniques and cinematic pyrotechnics to portray a typical day in Moscow from dawn to dusk. Vertov’s first film as a director was The Anniversary of the Revolution (1919), followed by two shorts, Battle of Tsaritsyn (1920) and The Agit-Train Vsik (1921), as well as the 13-reel History of Civil War (1922). Vertov’s films represented an intricate blend of art and political and poetic rhetoric.
The other film to be screened is the 2005 Oscar-winning short film West Bank Story by Ari Sandel. This short allegorical musical comedy West Bank Story observes the forbidden romance that blossoms between Israeli soldier David and Palestinian fast food cashier Fatima, who meet and fall for one another, despite the intense rivalry between their parents’ competing falafel stands on the tumultuous West Bank.
