AI Enhanced film of a very different side to the USSR in 1929. Filmed largely in Odessa, Ukraine. For some more affluent women,there was fashion, parties, bobbed hair, makeup and the ubiquitous cloche hat. The position and roles of women in the USSR, in principle at least, were equal to men under the Soviet Constitution. The reality for the vast majority was very different. This is an AI enhanced and upscaled edit from the classic 1929 documentary “Man with a Movie Camera.“ Directed by Dziga Vertov and edited by his wife Yelizaveta Svilova. Famous for its range of cinematic techniques Vertov and Svilova pioneered. Multiple exposure, fast and slow motion, freeze frames, match cuts, jump cuts, split screens, etc. The film in its entirety depicts the daily lives of ordinary Soviet citizens, in the cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Moscow and on the shores of Odessa,a popular holiday spot. It has no actors. My favorite shots are the carriage/car sequences filmed on Pushkins
