About this product

Product Information

Raymond Rohauer is often associated with his work preserving and promoting the films of Buster Keaton. But he was also one of the biggest supporters of experimental and avant-garde filmmaking during the latter half of the 20th Century, and this collection presents some of the highlights of his archive. The 24 titles by highly influential artists and filmmakers represent many of of the movements and innovations emerging at the time, which remain influential within the art world. Marcel Duchamp, whose readymade sculptures and theories of art and spectatorship were truly revolutionary, made ANEMIC CIMEMA in 1926, as an experiment in tricks of both the eye and word. Fernand Leger's BALLET MECANIQUE is a stunning dance of mechanical parts at work, an example of modernism's interest in the aesthetics of the machine, and Viking Eggeling's objective SYMPHONIE DIAGONAL displays many of those concerns as well. MANHATTA, by photographer Paul Strand and painter/ photographer Charles Sheerer, is sometimes described as the first American avant-garde film, and takes as its subject a day in the life of New York City. The multiple films by American Dadaist and Surrealist Man Ray include EMAK-BAKIA, L'ETOILE DE MER, LE RETOUR A LA RAISON, AND LES MYSTERES DU CHATEAU DU DE. Each is an example of the remarkable scope and innovation of this Brooklynite who spent many of his working years in Paris. Hans Richter, Germaine Dulac, Jean Epstein, and Sergei Eisenstein all have work in the collection as well, making this an outstanding record of the fulminating creativity and cross-pollination in art and film in the 1920s and '30s.

    Keep those movie cameras rolling!

    I enjoyed all 25 of the short films offered on this two disc set from Kino; some, of course, more than others. All were interesting and many were really outstanding. It illustrates what one can accomplish with just a few people, some props and a great imagination. I think I'm going to get out my Super 8 camera, buy some new batteries and few rolls of film (probably black and white) and see what I can do!

    Avant Garde - Experimental Cinema

    Silence is especially golden when it's in beautiful black-and-white and features the optical-social-esthetic somersaults of the likes of Fritz Lang and Jean Epstein, among others. Avant Garde - Allez, Allez!
