*Optical Poetry: Oskar Fischinger Retrospective* Presented in association with Center for Visual Music We are thrilled to partner with the Center for Visual Music to showcase their program *Optical Poetry: Oskar Fischinger Retrospective* that will be screened on our campus on Monday, September 9. This is a rare opportunity to see Fischinger’s pioneer work in abstract animation and visual music. This HD version of CVM’s Retrospective program features his classic visual music films, many transferred from restored material and Fischinger’s own nitrates. Fischinger (1900-1967), hailed as the “Father of Visual Music,” influenced animators and filmmakers worldwide. He created iconic works such as “Allegretto” and “Motion Painting No. 1.” and the groundbreaking 1930s Studies series, which debuted in theaters globally. This event is co-organized by experimenta.l. and the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies.
