When Dziga Vertov traveled to Western Europe in 1931,

He brought with him a print of MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA.

His journey, taking in different European cities,

concluded in Amsterdam and here he left his print with the Filmliga.

This rare full-frame print, to which the original division

in 6 chapters has been restored,

was the main source for the film print that you are about to see.
