MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA (2025) is a collectively authored three-channel video which reinterprets the 1929 film of the same name through the lens of internet-based aesthetics. Drawing a lineage from the experiments of Soviet montage to contemporary trends such as sludge content, desktop documentary, corecore, and database cinema, MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA (2025) attempts to reinvigorate the popular avant-garde project of a universal cinematic language which was originally developed almost a century ago by Dziga Vertov and The Kinoks. MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA (2025) was directed and edited by a stylistically diverse range of artists working autonomously and in tandem: Esteban Alarcón, Hank Allen, Breeding Castle, Melissa Cha, Crisis Acting, Dana Dawud, Kayla Drzewicki, Gavin Dubois, Andrea Florens, Janelle Howerton, Levels of Nuance, Tanner Masseth, Emma Murray, Jose Perez, Progga, Abbey Pusz, Redacted Cut, Blake Robbins, Max Rooney, Paranoia State, Twee Whistler, Elijah Valter, Jay Villalobos, and Brian Wiebe.
