The founder of the film "Eye School"

The founder of the film Eye School is the Soviet documentary director Tija Wiltov.

Giga Wiltoff compared the movie camera to the human eye, even better than the human eye, and advocated that filmmakers use cameras to "catch life by surprise", opposed artificial performances, and even opposed ordinary performance films (feature films), and praised newsreels.

Wiltoff did not attribute the task of the film to the simple video reality. He believes that it is a very important stage of film creation to organize the material of film observation so as to guide the audience to draw a clear ideological conclusion, which has a great influence on the later filmmakers and the real films that appeared in France in the 1950 s and 1960 s

The main films of the Movie Eye School are basically directed by Wiltoff himself, among which the important works are Civil War History (1922), The First Anniversary of Lenin's Death (1924) and On One-Sixth of the World (1926). The development of Eye School promoted the emergence of "editing" and the birth of the Montage School of Eisenstein and pudovkin, and the later Italian Neo-realism School was also deeply influenced by Eye School.
