Train Again

20 min. | Experimental | N-7

Tscherkassky flits through the history of the filmic avant-garde, conceiving his work as a centrifuge of quotations from the pantheon of visionary cinema. One could call this highly complex and simultaneously elemental film a darkroom action experiment, an underground blockbuster, or a kinetic painting in a thousand shades of grey. Train Again is an ecstatic ode to the fragility and explosive force of the medium.
