Enthusiasm: The Symphony of Donbas is a 1931 sound film directed by Soviet filmmaker Dziga Vertov. The film was the director's first sound film and also the first of the Soviet production company Ukrainfilm. The film's score is considered experimental and avant-garde because of its incorporation of factory, industrial, and other machine sounds; human speech plays only a small role in the film's sounds.

Production

Most of the film was shot in Ukraine’s Donbas region. The Donbas, although it was relatively industrialized compared to other regions in the U.S.S.R., presented its own challenges to the film project. Once Vertov and his crew arrived to the Donbas, they did not have much time to record the film score. Upon their arrival to the region, they had about a month to record the location’s sounds.

Starting in 1929, Vertov began recording the film’s visual footage before he formulated the film score. Vertov’s sound production and the sounds used in the film are both essential to understanding the significance and context of Enthusiasm has in Soviet cinema and cinematic history. The film served as a platform on which Vertov could experiment with sound and filming on location.
