vor 3 Jahren (bearbeitet)„The official history of both experimental and abstract film begins with the premiere of Ruttmann’s first film, Lichtspiel Opus 1 (Light-Play Opus 1), on April 21, 1921. Ruttmann was certainly aware of this himself when he wrote in the invitation to the work’s premiere of the beginning of a truly independent art of film. The critic Bernhard Diebold, who had already demanded abstract film in his writings, also wrote of a new motion art: ‚Painting and music have wed.‘ […] Lichtspiel Opus 1 is comprised of a thousand paintings that have been reproduced and colored by hand on the filmstrip. […] „The music by Ruttmann’s friend Max Butting (Opus 23 for string quartet) was meticulously composed in correspondence to the film; indeed there are drawings by Ruttmann on the original score that outline the respective occurrences on the screen. It is interesting to note that Butting originally considered the music to be superfluous because he believed the film itself was visual music. From today’s perspective, however, the music appears to be necessary: without music, the dramatic aspects of the film have no impact. […] „After black-and-white copies of the film — which were for the most part shown without sound — were in circulation for years, in 2005 the film was completely reconstructed in color.“ –Marcel Schwierin, http://www.see-this-sound.at/print/work/175.html
