Time travel back to 1920s Odesa, Ukraine. Its fashions, bobbed hairstyles cloche hats, and jazz music. Manually colorized in 4K color with added sound for an immersive time travel experience.
This is a short edit from the classic 1929 documentary “Man with a Movie Camera.
The position and roles of women in the USSR, in principle at least, were equal to men under the Soviet Constitution. The reality for the vast majority was very different.
This is an colorized and upscaled edit from the classic 1929 documentary “Man with a Movie Camera.”
Directed by Dziga Vertov and edited by his wife Yelizaveta Svilova.
Famous for its range of cinematic techniques Vertov and Svilova pioneered. Multiple exposure, fast and slow motion, freeze frames, match cuts, jump cuts, split screens, etc. The original silent movie is a masterpiece of cinema.
The film in its entirety depicts the daily lives of ordinary Soviet citizens, in the cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Moscow and on the shores of Odessa, a popular holiday spot. It has no actors.
1920s Odessa life begins at an apartment on Troitska Street at the corner of Pushkins’ka street. A young woman is wakes to the sound of her bedside alarm clock. She gets p and starts a new day. Several shots of tourists enjoying horse drawn carriage. Shots of open top motor cars. All filmed along Pushkins’ka Street in Odessa. Two women disembarking from a carriage outside a building on Vorontsovs’kyi Lane. Some new footage of young people enjoying the summer on Arcadia beach.
Largely dismissed upon its initial release, the British Film Institute’s 2012 film critics poll, voted Man with a Movie Camera the 8th greatest film ever made.

How silent footage is colorized and brought to Life
I take early fragments of silent 16fps footage and restore them to life by a combination of manual frame by frame colorization as well as the use of deep exemplar-based video colorization techniques. The footage is upscaled and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( in most cases 60 frames per second.) Finally I produce a soundtrack which helps build a new immersive experience for the viewer.
Together, these processes revive old fragments of footage, offering audiences a more
vivid and engaging glimpse of lives long since lived in the distant past.
The colorization process used Deep exemplar-based Video colorization.
