Alexander Hammid 1907-2004
Bezucelna Prochazka (Aimless Walk) (1930)
This first true Czech avant-garde film turns away from a purely celebratory approach to the city. The camera follows a detached protagonist on his wanderings, as his highly subjective journey becomes a fragmented visualization of urban landscapes. (Alexandr Hackenschmied, 1930, 35mm, silent, 20 mins.)
