A key figure in early avant-garde cinema, Walter Ruttmann was a
pioneer of experimental animation and the creative force behind one
of the silent era's most celebrated montage films, Berlin: Symphony
of a Great City. Yet even as he was making experimental films,
Ruttmann had a day job. He worked regularly in advertising -and he
would go on to make industrial films, medical films, and even Nazi
propaganda films. Michael Cowan offers here the first study of
Ruttmann in English, not only shedding light on his commercial,
industrial, and propaganda work, but also rethinking his
significance in light of recent transformations in film studies.
Cowan brilliantly teases out the linkages between the avant-garde
and industrial society in the early twentieth century, showing how
Ruttmann's films incorporated and enacted strategies for managing
the multiplicities of mass society. This book has won the Willy
Haas Award 2014 for its outstanding contribution to the study of
German cinema.
