Made in 1924 by Viking Eggeling, "Symphonie Diagonale" is the best abstract film yet conceived. It is an experiment to discover the basic principles of the organization of time intervals in the film medium. This version was restored by Gösta Werner in 1994 in collaboration with The Swedish Filminstitute. Music by Olga Neuwirth, 2006.

  • I find this new music completely distracting. It was conceived and made as a graphic representation of music, no sound at all.

  • I like it ! :-)

  • I can't believe this film was made almost 90 years ago.

  • @fanihelvete isnt it AWESOME?

  • is this some practical joke??

  • Ok I see now that this piece of music was especially written for the film, then it's ok :)

  • extraño concepto.

  • Music by Olga Neuwirth, 2006.
