Without actors, regular citizens are shown at work and play, interacting with the machinery of modern life. Characters of the #experimental #silentfilm are #cameramen, #filmeditor, and the modern #SovietUnion in its 1920s.

#ManWithaMovieCamera had a big impact on the #Qatsi_trilogy since Godfrey Reggio was at least inspired. Obviously, our #vector #graphic #design is made with #Inkscape and much more colorful, but inspired as well.
