Highly entertaining this film will interest the general public as well as art history classes and avant garde film audiences. Included are interviews with Hans Richter an Dr. Richard Huelsenbeck, survivors of the early days of the movement. Excerpts of dadaist films are shown along with their paintings, masks, collage, sculptures, poetry and manifestoes. While cocentrating on the Dadaist movement in Germany, the film also touches on the French surrealist and the Italian futurist movements. Newsreel footage of the Wilhelminian Age, World War I, and the German revolution of 1918-1921 are used to give an historical background to Dadism. The most chilling sequence is an excerpt from a 1940 Nazi newsreel announcing the death of Dada and showing examples of officially approved art, giant sculptures of muscle-bound supermen"--One Way Films catalogue. 546 Narration in English, some German dialogue with English titles. 590 PFA 1620-01-14103. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 2008/ 09/09 OK, red.
