A Sixth Part of the World (, ), sometimes referred to as The Sixth Part of the World, is a 1926 silent film directed by Dziga Vertov and produced by Kultkino (part of 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 cultural and economic 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 (kinoki) during their trips. According to Vertov, the film anticipates the coming of sound films by using a constant "word-radio-theme" in the intertitles. Thanks to A Sixth Part of the World and his following feature The Eleventh Year (1928), Vertov matures his style in which he will excel in his most famous film Man with a Movie Camera (1929). Plot Vertov starts by showing us, with intertitles in giant Cyrillic characters, what he sees (Вижу) about the capitalist West with its foxtrot and black minstrels, and then switches his attention to the audience (Вы) and then the individual viewer (Ты). In one self-reflective moment, Vertov even shows cinema-goers watching an earlier piece of the film (‘And you sitting in the audience’). He takes the viewer on a tour of the vital importance of agricultural production, which generates export revenue (shot of the ship’s nameplate Greenwich) so that Russia can buy machines to build more machines (shots of a milling machine). This gives him the pretext to take a Cook’s tour of the extremities of the Soviet Union, showing the Lenin (shot downwards from above the prow) delivering new dogs to the Samoyeds on Novaya Zemlya and their being invited on board to listen to a gramophone recording of Vladimir Lenin himself. Then the film shows Bukhara where one of the mosques is looking very dingy and crumbled, and to Leningrad where trams run down the middle of broad empty boulevard as a horse-drawn carriage turns out. Next are shown a Kirghiz with a giant eagle perched on his arm, a bear encircled by yapping dogs, a fox caught in a trap and another one that is a child’s pet, guillemots, gulls, a man shooting a sable in the top of a pine tree, a pine marten, sheep being dragged into
