Sponsored by Oregon Public Broadcasting, the performance will be held on Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 7 p.m. at the historic Kiggins Theatre in Vancouver, WA. The film will be accompanied by live music as it would have been in the silent film theaters of the 1920s.
Voted the “Best Documentary of All Time” by Sight and Sound Magazine, Man with a Movie Camera is an experimental silent film that documented urban life in Odessa, Kiev, and Kharkiv throughout the late 1920s. It is a film without actors, featuring only the cameramen, film editors, and Soviet citizens as they work, play, and travel.
