Man with a Movie Camera is the fourth album by The Cinematic Orchestra. It is the soundtrack to a re-released version of the (then ground-breaking) 1929 silent documentary film, Man with a Movie Camera from Russian director Dziga Vertov. The Cinematic Orchestra were commissioned to record the score to play as the opening event in Porto, Portugal's year as European Capital of Culture in 2001.
The first live performance took place in the Coliseu do Porto theatre in May 2000 and was met with a standing ovation from the audience of more than 3,500 people. The tracks from the album have since been performed at film festivals all over the world.
In November 2002, the band, along with a string section and percussionist Milo Fell, recorded the album over a 2 day period in the soundtrack studio in Whitfield Street in London. The album contains re-workings and thematic reprises of some of the music from their previous album, Every Day, including the tracks "Man With a Movie Camera", and an instrumental version of "All Things To All Men" entitled "All Things".
A DVD of the same name was released in 2003. It included the original film allied to their soundtrack, and a "making of" documentary as well as some live performances and music videos from the band.
