Originally produced as individual silent motion pictures in France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United States, these twenty-five short films epitomize the avant garde movement of the 1920's and 1930's.

Rohauer helped preserve and promote avant-garde cinema, and these films from his personal archive are some of the most influential and eclectic short films made during the 20th Century.

There is a wide variation of tempos and style in both films and music, with some pieces ambient in tone, while others are quick-paced, abstract, serene, or intense. Surprisingly modern, these experimental art films from the 1920s and their new soundtracks make for an entertaining voyage into the cinematic past.
