Optical Poetry: Oskar Fischinger Retrospective
Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA
(Oskar Fischinger, Germany/USA, 1926-47, 35mm, 70 min)
German-born painter and filmmaker Oskar Fischinger (1900-1967) was an enormously influential artist of the 20th century. His abstract animations- made between the 1920s and 40s- greatly expanded the possibilities of the medium of film, presenting a range of inventive, visual and temporal techniques and pioneering a new form of audio-visual art. While Fischingers work is rarely seen today, he has had a great effect on generations- from inspiring such experimenters as Harry Smith and John Cage to his work and influence on Disneys Fantasia to his influence on modern motion graphics. Were pleased to present this retrospective of his short films, featuring restored prints of Circles (1933), Composition in Blue (1935), Allegretto (1936), Radio Dynamics (1942), Motion Painting No. 1 (1947), and many other rarely seen works. This special presentation will also feature a 35mm cinemscope composite film recreating Fischingers multiple-projection performances, R-1, A Form-Play, (ca. 1926-33).
Program presented in association with Center for Visual Music and The Fischinger Archive.
