| Program Notes |
| The Eleventh (Odynadtsyatyi) was the first film Dziga Vertov made in Ukraine, at VUFKU, the All-Ukrainian Photo-Cinema-Directorate. Assigned to make a film intended to glorify the achieve-ments of the First Five-Year Plan and the tenth anniversary of Socialist rule, Vertov succeeded in creating one of the supreme masterpieces in the history of documentary cinema. The animated trailer was created by Evhen Makarov in collaboration with the director himself, and, most likely, photographer and designer Oleksandr Rodchenko. The trailer was discovered in the mid-1990s by the Dutch film researcher, poster collector, and authority Martijn Le Coultre, the president of the International Poster Gallery in The Hague, among some of Vertov’s personal belongings sold by his heirs to an Amsterdam antiquarian. The original 35mm nitrate film print (measuring 47 metres) is currently stored at the EYE Film Institute Netherlands. – Stanislav Menzelevskyi |
