Title:
A Sixth Part of the World (Dziga Vertov - 1926) - sub eng ita
Description:

A Sixth Part of the World - Шестая часть мира - La Sesta Parte del Mondo
URSS - 1926 - 74' - Full version - versione integrale
English subtitles - sottotitoli italiani (a cura di Luigi Morganti)

A Sixth Part of the World is a 1926 silent film directed by Dziga Vertov and produced by Kultkino and Sovkino. Through the travelogue format, it depicted the multitude of Soviet peoples in remote areas of USSR and detailed the entirety of the wealth of the Soviet land. Focusing on Soviets diversity, the film is in fact a call for unification in order to build a "complete socialist society". A mix between newsreel and found footage, Vertov edited sequences filmed by eight teams of kinoks (or kinokis) during their trips. According to Vertov, the film anticipates the coming of sound films by using a constant "word-radio-theme" in the intertitles.
