The first appearance in print of the program of the kinok-documentalist group formed by Vertov in 1919. As Vertov testifies, the original conception for the manifesto goes back to 1919. In the article "From Kino-Eye to Radio-Eye" he writes: "Moscow. The end of 1919. An unheated room. A small vent-window with a broken pane. Next to the window a table. On the table, a glass of yesterday's undrunk tea that has turned to ice. Near the glass is a manuscript. We read: 'Manifesto on the Disarmament of Theatrical Cinematography.' One of the variants of this manifesto, entitled 'WE', was later (1922) published in the magazine ''Kinofot'' (Moscow)."<ref>{{harvnb|Michelson|1984|p=321}}</ref>

Iskusstva, 1966, pp 75-79. (in Russian). An abridged shorthand report of a speech by Vertov at a conference of the kinoks on 9 June 1924. The speech clearly characterizes Vertov's attitude toward so-called intermediate trends in cinematography (according to the kinoks, the films of Eisenstein were included in this category). Calling works of this type "acted films in newsreel trousers", "surrogates", etc., Vertov saw in them a danger for the Soviet documentary. New material pertaining to the history of the film journal ''Kinopravda'' is also contained in this speech.<ref>{{harvnb|Michelson|1984|p=323}}</ref>

Selected Articles by Vertov

  • "My. Variant manifesta" [Мы, Вариант манифеста], Kino-fot [Кино-Фот] 1 (25 August 1922), pp 11-12; repr. in Statii, dnevniki, zamysly [Статьи. Дневники. Замыслы], ed. Sergei Drobashenko, Moscow: Izd. Iskusstva, 1966, pp 45-49. (in Russian) [10] [11]. The first appearance in print of the program of the kinok-documentalist group formed by Vertov in 1919. As Vertov testifies, the original conception for the manifesto goes back to 1919. In the article "From Kino-Eye to Radio-Eye" he writes: "Moscow. The end of 1919. An unheated room. A small vent-window with a broken pane. Next to the window a table. On the table, a glass of yesterday's undrunk tea that has turned to ice. Near the glass is a manuscript. We read: 'Manifesto on the Disarmament of Theatrical Cinematography.' One of the variants of this manifesto, entitled 'WE', was later (1922) published in the magazine Kinofot (Moscow)."[30]

Portions of a projected book by Vertov. The article is one of the more important theoretical statements made by the director during the mid-1920s. While in part developing the theses of the manifesto "WE", it sums up the creative experience that Vertov received while working on the magazines Kinonedelia [Film-week] and Kinopravda [Film-truth] and on his first short films, The Anniversary of the Revolution, The Battle of Tsaritsyn, and The Trial of Mironov. Vertov also summarizes his theoretical observations from those years on the specific nature of cinema.[31]

An abridged shorthand report of a speech by Vertov at a conference of the kinoks on 9 June 1924. The speech clearly characterizes Vertov's attitude toward so-called intermediate trends in cinematography (according to the kinoks, the films of Eisenstein were included in this category). Calling works of this type "acted films in newsreel trousers", "surrogates", etc., Vertov saw in them a danger for the Soviet documentary. New material pertaining to the history of the film journal Kinopravda is also contained in this speech.[34]
