Idiot with a Tripod

Jamie Stuart · USA · Experimental / Documentary · 4 min · ♥︎ 1.4K

Armed with a DSLR and a tripod, a filmmaker roams New York City during the 2010 blizzard, crafting a rhythmic, Vertov-inspired city symphony of snow, streets and people.

A breathless, Vertov-inspired city symphony of snowbound New York, which Roger Ebert declared worthy of an Oscar.

The film Roger Ebert declared should win the Oscar, this video essay is a homage to Vertov's classic, "Man with a Movie Camera".
