The Dziga Vertov Group was formed around 1969 by politically active filmmakers including Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Gorin. Their films are defined primarily for Brechtian forms, Marxist ideology, and a lack of personal authorship. The roots of the project began with Godard's increased collaboration with other politically-motivated filmmakers. Eventually Godard and Gorin officially started creating films under the name Dziga Vertov Group, named after 1920s-'30s Soviet filmmaker Dziga Vertov. The Group eventually disbanded in 1972.
