Berlin, Symphony of a Great City (1927) was last accompanied live by DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid in 2001. The film, directed by German avant-garde film pioneer Walther Ruttmann (1887–1941), presents a typical day in Berlin from dawn until midnight.
The cinematography is by Relmar Kuntze, Robert Baberske and Laszlo Shaffer, and most of the film is said to have been shot using cameras concealed in suitcases. Many of the sequences are metaphorical, for example a crowd scene is juxtaposed with a shot of cattle, and dancers in a chorus line imitate a speeding train. As in his purely abstract films, Ruttmann presents the energy of movement and shapes which reflect the modern city in motion.
Anyone see it the last time he did this? Anyone gonna see it this time?
Also, I read his book a while back and loved it. Anyone else?
