6.4Jan 1, 19360h 3mAnimation

Directed by Oskar Fischinger

In the 1936 short Allegretto, diamond and oval shapes in primary colors perform a sensual, upbeat ballet to the music of composer Ralph Rainger. The geometric dance is set against a background of expanding circles that suggest radio waves. [Early Version and Late Version preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 1999].
