A COLOUR BOX

Directed by Len Lye
United Kingdom, 1935
Animation, Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

Lye’s first direct animation combined popular Cuban dance music with hand-painted abstract designs. Screened in many cinemas in Britain, the film had a huge impact because of its novelty and because it divided audiences – some viewers loved it, others hated it.
