"Kolo Dzygi" Silent Film Collection. Mykhail Kaufman. NAVESNI. (DVD). (In Spring)

"A masterpiece of Ukrainian avant-garde, a non-fiction film made by Mikhail Kaufman, Dziga Vertov's brother and co-author, along the lines of the avantgardist theory of "cine-eye". The film shows Kyiv in 1929, almost unknown today. Pictures of wakening city, its resurging life resonate with lyrical views of reviving nature. Kaufman's attentive camera dwells deliberately on smiling faces of children, lyrically depicting a declaration of love to Kyiv. In "In Spring", Kaufman used a method of "hidden camera" for the first time. Soundtrack to the film was composed by Oleksandr Kokhanovsky, who also created music to a series of experimental theatrical productions, art performances and other artistic events."
