1. Call for Participation: Global Remake of Vertov's Man With A Movie Camera

2008: Man With a Movie Camera is a global remake of Vertov's 1929 film
(Man With A Movie Camera) using the web to archive, sequence and deliver
submissions to the Big Screen Manchester UK on October 11 with more public
venues in the UK through 2008. The website at dziga.perrybard.net has a scene
index and every shot of Vertov's film is logged, with an intro to the project. The
scene index and shot list are there for reference. This doesn't have to be a copy,
it can be a 21st century version inspired by the original.

Scene uploading will begin in August. All submissions will be credited and will
appear on all publicity.
