Germany Dada

Directed by Helmut Herbst

With Hans Richter, Richard Huelsenbeck and Raoul Hausmann

This documentary concerns the contributions of German artists to the Dadaist movement. Created in 1916, the organizers rejected previous convention and delighted in nihilistic satire in painting, sculpture and literature. Comparisons are made between the movement and the political and social upheaval at the time of the release of this feature (1969).
