here's some more of my pathetic meddling into Russian... I'm not sure the term is Russain at all, I just know that it refers to socialist realist film in the Soviet Union.

In case it doesn't mean anything to any of you Russain speakers, the literal translation (from Bosnian) is "cinema-eye". Hope this "rings some bells".

cinema-eye, Кино-глаз

Для этого существует «Кино-око», которое совершеннее человеческого глаза. Используя разнообразные съемки и различные технические возможности киноаппарата, можно увидеть процессы в жизни скрытые от человеческого зрения, а последующая организация снятого материала позволяет более углубленно исследовать действительность.

В 1922 сформировалась группа молодых кинематографистов (М. А. Кауфман, И. И. Беляков, А. Г. Лемберг, И. П. Копалин, А. М. Родченко и др.), которая получила название «Киноки» (от «кино-око»). Позицию «Киноков» Вертов изложил в ряде манифестов, опубликованных в 1922-1923 в журналах «Кинофот» и «ЛЕФ», «Киноки», подобно лефовцам и пролеткультовцам, отрицали традиционные виды искусства, построенные на вымысле (роман, повесть, рассказ, и т. д.), и противопоставляли им очерк и репортаж, отрицали игровую кинематографию, ставя во главу угла кинохронику.

С деятельностью этой группы под руководством Вертова связано возникновение нового жанра кинопублицистики. Выходящие на экран на протяжении 1922-1926 выпуски киножурнала «Кино-Правда», документальные фильмы «Кино-глаз», «Шагай, Совет», «Шестая часть суши» и др. хроника событий воспринималась как обобщенная картина революционной эпохи и дальнейшего строительства мирной жизни.

Фильм «Кино-глаз» в 1924 получил медаль и диплом Всемирной выставки в Париже. http://www.prazdniki.ru/person/1/4987/.

Truly an experimental documentary, Dziga Vertov\'s masterpiece exemplifies the montage aesthetic of the Soviet avant-garde of the 1920s through its kinetic juxtaposition of shots and sped-up and slowed-down motion. Using his own concept of the \"kino eye\"—the cinema eye that illuminates the real world as not ordinarily seen—Vertov creates a city symphony depicting a day in the life of an urban metropolis.

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I'm sure your explanation was great, but I don't speak Russian (I thought that was abundently clear), and even though I myself can read Cyrillic, I'm afraid my computer cannot. You got me with Vertov, though, because he is mentioned in the text I'm translating and of course the term was what I was looking for. Thanks."

neutral Sergey Strakhov : Sorry, Людмила. Идея хороша, но cine eye вызывает ассоциацию с латинским "без глаза":(( Или это я склонен к "черному юмору":)

\"Plot Summary for
Kinoglaz (1924)

This documentary promoting the joys of life in a Soviet village centers around the activities of the Young Pioneers. These children are constantly busy, pasting propaganda posters on walls, distributing hand bills, exhorting all to \"buy from the cooperative\" as opposed to the Public Sector, promoting temperance, and helping poor widows. Experimental portions of the film, projected in reverse, feature the un-slaughtering of a bull and the un-baking of bread.\"
