The 1920s and 1930s saw the rise of the city symphony, an
experimental film form that presented the city as protagonist
instead of mere decor. Combining experimental, documentary, and
narrative practices, these films were marked by a high level of
abstraction reminiscent of high-modernist experiments in painting
and photography. Moreover, interwar city symphonies presented a
highly fragmented, oftentimes kaleidoscopic sense of modern life,
and they organized their urban-industrial images through rhythmic
and associative montage that evoke musical structures. In this
comprehensive volume, contributors consider the full 80 film
corpus, from Manhatta and Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Grosstadt to
lesser-known cinematic explorations.
