Film description

"Berlin: Symphony of a Great City" (Berlin – Die Sinfonie der Großstadt) is an experimental documentary silent film by Walter Ruttmann, which premiered in 1927. The film depicts a day in the life of the pulsating metropolis of Berlin—from awakening in the morning to the nighttime entertainment scene—combining documentary images with a rhythmic editing style that makes urban life appear like a symphony. Ruttmann's work is considered a milestone of the cinematic avant-garde and the "city symphonies" of the 1920s. With its combination of realistic footage, cinematic montage art, and the specially composed music by Edmund Meisel, the film conveys an impressive historical snapshot of the Weimar capital.
