LĆ”szlĆ³ Moholy-Nagy: ABC in Sound / Tƶnendes ABC (1933) | BFI National Archives

BFI - restoration from archive. "Missing for over 80 years, this experimental film by Bauhaus teacher and artist LĆ”szlĆ³ Moholy-Nagy was found by BFI curators embedded in a reel of film that also contained Oskar Fischinger's Early Experiments in Hand Drawn Sound. LĆ”szlĆ³ Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) was a tenacious, restless creative who associated with various early twentieth century vanguard art movements. Teaching at the legendary Bauhaus school, which this year sees its centenary, his early optical sound films experimented with the formal properties of film and blurred the lines between sound and image and the act of hearing and seeing sound. Newly scanned at 4K, the restoration of ABC in Sound / Tƶnendes ABC will receive its world premiere at BFI Southbank on 18 June." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui_FU-KAZMM
