My Avant-garde teacher is amazing. His name is Martin Cihak, and he looks like a mix from the short french fellow from The Science of Sleep and Golem from the LOTR trilogy. And that is with absolutely no exaggeration.
This week we reviewed German Avant-garde Film from the 1920's. This consisted of viewing screenings by four artists. The first three are extremely influential in terms of avant-garde as a larger movement, but the fourth and last is my new absolute obsession...
1) Walther Rutmann:
-Opus 1,2,3,& 4 {1921-25}
-Das Wunder (The Wonder) {1922}
- Falkentraum (The Dream of the Falcon) {1923 silent}
2) Viking Eggeling:
-Diagonal Sinfonie (Diagonal Symphony) {1923-25}
3) Hans Richter:
- Rhythmus 21 (Film is Rhythm) {1923-25 silent}
-Filmstudie {1926 silent}
- Vormittagsspuk (Ghosts Before Breakfast) {1927-28 silent}
-Zweigroschenzauber (Two-Pence Magic) {1928-29}
-Inflation {1928}
AND MY NEW HERO:
4) Oskar Fischinger:
