David Abelevich Kaufman () ( 2 January 1896 – 12 February 1954 ) — better known by his pseudonym Dziga Vertov, or Vertof (, " spinning top ") — was a Soviet pioneer documentary film, newsreel director and cinema theorist.

His filming practices and theories influenced the cinéma vérité style of documentary moviemaking and the Dziga Vertov Group, a radical filmmaking cooperative which was active in the 1960s.

He eventually adopted the name " Dziga Vertov ", which translates loosely as ' spinning top '.

" Cine-Eye " is a montage method developed by Dziga Vertov which was first formulated in his work " WE: Variant of a Manifesto " in 1919.

Dziga Vertov believed his concept of Kino-Glaz, or " Cine Eye " in English, would help contemporary man evolve from a flawed creature into a higher, more precise form.

Dziga Vertov died of cancer in 1954, after surviving, unscathed, Stalin's purges.
