Oskar Fischinger: A Centennial Celebration
Part Two: The Rarities
The Fischinger retrospective continues with a number of the artist’s rarely seen films, including Spiritual Constructions (1927), Study #7 (1931), and Ornament Sound (1932); examples of his commercial work; and a documentary on his life and work featuring interviews with his wife, Elfriede. This program will include a pixilated film Fischinger made in 1927 as he walked 300 miles from Munich to Berlin shooting single frames, and a selection of experiments from a machine he invented to animate slices from a block of multi-colored wax.
