Hi Eugeni
The Schobert book was published by Goethe Institut and given out free of charge. You can find a – reasonably priced – copy here: <https://www.zvab.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=goethe+institut&bi=0&cm_sp=SearchF-_-Advtab1-_-Results&ds=30&exactsearch=off&recentlyadded=all&sortby=20&sts=t&tn=Film> https://www.zvab.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=goethe+institut&bi=0&cm_sp=SearchF-_-Advtab1-_-Results&ds=30&exactsearch=off&recentlyadded=all&sortby=20&sts=t&tn=Film As for Richter: be careful! His intentions among others were clearly to “prove” that his “Rhythmus 21” was the first-ever experimental film. But the title is at least misleading and the film as it can be seen today is of later origin. Though a great artist no doubt, he was personally very, very nasty to his peers and collaborators.

Dezember 2017 13:28 An: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Betreff: Re: [Frameworks] 1920s German abstraction Esperanza, The Schobert's book mentioned by RB is the same I told you yesterday, I have the version auf Deutsch+Spanisch. Quite expensive those books on Amazon! Another recommendation: https://www.amazon.de/Hans-Richter-Filmgegner-Filmfreunde-morgen/dp/B0082BWR6Y I'm not sure if there is an English translation.
