Человек с киноаппаратом
El Hombre con la Cámara, muy en la línea de "Berlín, sinfonía de una gran ciudad" (Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt, 1927), es un retrato de San Petersburgo compuesto por cientos de pinceladas fílmicas sobre la vida cotidiana en dicha ciudad. Podría decirse que se trata de un retrato puntillista en el que sólo la totalidad de los breves retazos permiten percibir San Petersburgo en su totalidad. Con la complicidad de su hermano, el operador Mikhail Kaufman, Vertov, fiel a su teorías, no permite ni por un momento que se pueda suponer que alguno de esos retazos pueda imaginarse inventado. Por ello en el vertiginoso montaje que plasma la fascinación de Vertov por el constructivismo y el futurismo, introduce constantemente imágenes del operador que con su cámara está filmando la realidad que le rodea.

Тот самый Мюнхгаузен
A philosophical and poetic portrait of the famous (or maybe infamous?) Baron Munchhausen. His crazy, yet very merriment, stories, views and behavior is what sets him apart from others. He becomes alienated from the society that failed to grasp his brilliance. In fact, his brilliance is what underlines the faults with the society itself. It's a beautiful yet tragic story that is filled with dense and intellectual dialogue.
