Product Description

The Eleventh Year (1928)

Director:

Dziga Vertov

Writer:

Dziga Vertov

"Odinnadtsatyy" ( The Eleventh Year ) was directed by the documentary maker and film theorist Herr Dziga Vertov in the silent year of 1928 in order to commemorate, not the tenth but the eleventh anniversary of the October revolution ( Germans also very much like to celebrate Oktober but in a very different kind of way… ).

In Herr Vertov's oeuvre there is a special fondness for showing the hard labor of his countrymen in industrial production to strengthen the U.S.S.R. economy and turning their country into a world power. The 11tth anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution was a perfect excuse for Herr Vertov to put in images his artistic recurring allegories and national patriotism.
