2010 | B/N | 67 min The film presents a shot-by-shot reconstruction of Dziga Vertov's iconic film, Man with a Movie Camera, replacing the original sequences with footage from Michael Nyman's own film archives shot over the last two decades. Deeply rooted in Vertov's original ideas about "the perception of truth," the documentation of "life as it is" and that of "life caught unawares," Nyman's film attempts to capture the essence of "what is there" and reflects on what he calls the "persistence of glance," a multi-sensorial experience of time as it occurs and life as it happens and is recorded by the human memory.
