They felt the task of the soviet film was to document reality 'to reveal truth' and were opposed to the fiction film that depended on artifice 'the ordinary fiction film acts like a cigar or cigarette on a smoker. Intoxicated by the cine-nicotine...' Man with the movie camera Dziga Vertov is described by S.M Eisentien as a 'film hooligan' producing 'unmotivated camera mischief'. He made a Man with a movie camera as a 'visual symphony', a self-reflexive film about making of the film.
