Dziga Vertov’s directorial debut Anniversary of the Revolution

ABSTRACT Anniversary of the Revolution (Godovshchina revoliutsii, 1918) was the first directorial and editorial experience of Dziga Vertov. For many years the film was considered lost and has not been the focus of researchers’ attention. In 1967, Viktor Listov attributed some parts of this gigantic compilation film, which consisted of historical chronicles of the events in Russia from 1917 to 1918. In 2017, the complete list of intertitles for the film was discovered at the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI), which has enabled the author of this article to identify all the film’s constituent parts and recover the film in full from the material archived at the Russian State Documentary Film and Photo Archive (RGAKFD). On that basis, it has been possible to reconstruct Dziga Vertov’s debut film, which will fundamentally expand the research field around his cinematic heritage. The history of the film’s reconstruction stands as the focus of this article.
