A history of avant-garde film for beginners and repeaters
FROM CLEAN TO DIRTY FILM GERMAN AVANGARD FILM OF THE TWENTIETH

After World War I, in order to preserve its national and cultural identity, Germany nationalized its film industry, as well as Russia and other European countries. Thus, in addition to the commercial film, the German national studio UFA helps the work of artistically oriented artists Hans Richter, Viking Egeling, and Walter Rutmann. Their involvement in film meticulously explored the rhythm in painting, and Richter gives this type of film the name Absolute Film.

Honor me, my gentlemen. It doesn't work that way. I do not belong to those who are angry at the cinema because it seduces numerous theater visitors and minors. On the contrary - I am in love with this glittering muse and I share the fate of many men in love: I love her not as she is, but as I would like to have her. Yar I believe in the art of cinema. ...
Because, cinematography falls under the section OF FINE ARTS, and its laws are closest to the laws of painting and dance. Its expressive forms are shapes, surfaces, light, and darkness, with all the content of the atmosphere that exists in them, but above all the movement of these optical phenomena, the temporal development of one form from another ... It is the fine art with Novum. ....
Text with a letter from Walter Rutman to a friend, written between 1913 and 1917.
