In 1923, Andor Weininger, a Hungarian-born painter, architect, and the founder of the Bauhaus band, outlined a script for an animated film that was never realized. Weininger’s work would have been a novelty in the history of animation, as the film’s narrative structure, based on Dadaism, would have been created from an association between abstract and figurative elements. It was an attempt to conceive a peculiar cinematic language that would have organically combined acoustic and visual effects, expressed with the entire toolbox of moving images.
Gábor Ulrich, director of Kecskemétfilm, undertook the task of creating a paraphrase of Weininger’s animation based on the surviving sketches to mark the centenary of the synopsis’s birth. Márton Orosz’s lecture delves into the research surrounding the film project’s history, the idea of the reconstruction, and the stages of production of the film.
