"The official history of both experimental and abstract film begins with the premiere of Ruttmann’s first film, _Lichtspiel Opus 1 (Light-Play Opus 1),_ on April 21, 1921. Ruttmann was certainly aware of this himself when he wrote in the invitation to the work’s premiere of the beginning of a truly independent art of film. The critic Bernhard Diebold, who had already demanded abstract film in his writings, also wrote of a new motion art: 'Painting and music have wed.' [...] _Lichtspiel Opus 1_ is comprised of a thousand paintings that have been reproduced and colored by hand on the filmstrip. [...] "The music by Ruttmann’s friend Max Butting _(Opus 23_ for string quartet) was meticulously composed in correspondence to the film; indeed there are drawings by Ruttmann on the original score that outline the respective occurrences on the screen. It is interesting to note that Butting originally considered the music to be superfluous because he believed the film itself was visual music. From today’s perspective, however, the music appears to be necessary: without music, the dramatic aspects of the film have no impact. [...] "After black-and-white copies of the film - which were for the most part shown without sound - were in circulation for years, in 2005 the film was completely reconstructed in color." -Marcel Schwierin, www.see-this-sound.at/print/work/175.html
Nas aulas de design o professor nos apresentou Richter como o precursor do cinema abstrato. Pesquisando sobre Richter cheguei até esta obra de Ruttman. Ainda não sei quem foi o precursor do cinema abstrato, tampouco sei se é necessário cristalizar um fundador para uma arte que por si é tão livre, só sei que estou amando a experiência e desvendando saberes que não imaginei existir. Algumas vezes a vida é bela.
So organically alive and vital! Love that you have left the scratches and speckles in the print instead of cleaning them off, it's just very natural looking. The music score is perfect. Thank you for posting this ❤️❤️❤️
The film wasn’t the colour, they used to paint over film to make it coloured, there are also loads of techniques to give film a certain colour and texture, so you couldn’t do much by using a camera but you could get a lot by developing the empty film (so it stays translucent), and then paint over it or add materials over it and run it through a projector.
To realize this new art form, Ruttmann came up with, and even patented, a kind of animation technique. Once a painter, always a painter, he found a way to make films using oils and brushes. As experimental animations scholar William Moritz described it, Ruttmann created Lichtspiel Opus I with images "painted with oil on glass plates beneath an animation camera, shooting a frame after each brush stroke or each alteration because the wet paint could be wiped away or modified quite easily. He later combined this with geometric cut-outs on a separate layer of glass." (from google -1 click)
@@joostdofferhoff4024 interesting. With the minimalism and primary colors, I figured it was painted directly onto the film with limited color photography at that time.
Hej Kater, ich fürchte das Lesen altdeutscher Schrift solltest du nochmal üben. Da steht Lichtspiel, für Lustspiel müsste auf dem "u" (hier "ic") eine kleine, nach oben gebogene Klammer sitzen, kein i-Strich, die Bögen sind gleich. S und h sehen sich zwar ähnlich, aber ein altdeutsches S läuft nach unen gerade aus und wird nicht nach oben zurückgeschlungen. Wenn schon Klugscheißen, dann doch bitte richtig ;)

LOVE this score. . .haunting and beautiful.
If you are watching and thinking it's hypnotic ~ wait until the end for the pendulum effect.
Gran creación de quien sabe mucho de color, buena música, deleite para el espíritu

C'est dur de vivre tout en étant en avance sur son temps, cela fait souffrir
Reading Animation: A world history vol.1 Ruttmann's animations are mentioned. Not what I expected. Interesting, but not what I expected.
Grande função ao ar livre!

Happy 100 year anniversary to this little flick
Best version I've seen so far! Thanks so much!
9 years, wow!
This would make a good companion piece for "Begone Dull Care".
apart from making it a very good movie I find it hard to believe that it is from nineteen million years ago ... I mean a century ago.
Que lindo!
Terima kasih banyak .....
"Zu Asche Zu Staub..."

Good intro. When does the movie start?

Is this the original score?
No me gusta.
Yes!
好牛逼啊
Oh, sorry!
10 years, lol.

Lesen müsste man können, dann würde das Ganze Lichtspiel nicht Lichtspiel, sondern richtig " Lustspiel opus 1 von Walther Ruttmann" heissen.
