Jackie and Greg discuss the highest-ranked documentary on the Sight & Sound list, Dziga Vertov's experimental montage film from 1929. Topics of discussion include the Kinoks collective, Vertov's newsreel background and his aversion to fiction, how meta the film is, the polarizing Alloy Orchestra score, and the playfulness of Vertov's city symphony. Why does Greg keep bringing up KOYAANISQATSI?
