Oskar Fischinger: A Centennial Celebration
Part Three: The Legacy
Screening on Film
Fischinger’s legacy is revealed in this final installment of the retrospective through the work of the generations of filmmakers who were inspired by his art. The survey will include Norman McLaren’s Synchromy (1971), Jordan Belson’s Allures (1961), Harry Smith’s Film No. 5 (1950), John Whitney’s Hothouse (1952), James Whitney’s Lapis (1963–66), and Mary Ellen Bute’s Polkagraph (1952), as well as the work of younger, contemporary artists such as Barbel Neubauer and Paul Glabicki, who still find inspiration in Fischinger’s work more than fifty years after the completion of his last film.
