We return to the early German avant-garde movement with Hans Richter's vertiginous exploration of three-dimensional space within the film frame using animated geometric figures to question the viewer's concepts of perspective and depth. Also a Dadaist, Richter directed three other films with the "Rhythmus" designation ("23" and "25").
