Dziga Vertov quotes:

Freed from the boundaries of time and space, I co-ordinate any and all points of the universe, wherever I want them to be. My way leads towards the creation of a fresh perception of the world. Thus I explain in a new way the world unknown to you.

My road is towards the creation of a fresh perception of the world. Thus I decipher in a new way the world unknown to you.

It is far from simple to show the truth, yet the truth is simple.

I am the camera's eye. I am the machine that shows you the world as I alone see it. Starting from today I am forever free of human immobility. I am in perpetual movement. I approach and draw away from things-I crawl under them-I climb on them-I am on the head of a galloping horse.

I am an eye. I am a mechanical eye. I, a machine, I am showing you a world, the likes of which only I can see

I'm an eye. A mechanical eye. I, the machine, show you a world the way only I can see it...I approach and pull away from objects. I creep under them. I move alongside a running horse's mouth...This is I, the machine, manoeuvering in the chaotic movements, recording one movement after another in the most complex combinations... Thus I explain in a new way the world unknown to you.

Kino-Eye uses every possible means in montage, comparing and linking all points of the universe in any temporal order, breaking, when necessary, all the laws and conventions of film construction.

The film drama is the opium of the peopleâ?¦down with bourgeois fairy-tale scenariosâ?¦long live life as it is!

We cannot improve the making of our eyes, but we can endlessly perfect the camera.

Everybody who cares for his art seeks the essence of his own technique.
