One of the key films of the avant-garde movement, “Le Ballet Mécanique” anticipates later Surrealist films and is Cubist painter Fernand Léger’s only film. It is the first completely abstract film to be photographed (as opposed to the drawn, abstractions of Richter and Eggeling). This film will be presented together with BAD BOY MADE GOOD.
