A film-collage abstraction of images reflected on the water of Amsterdam canals, produced by one of the leaders of the Experimental Film Movement. 'Much importance is given the role of the camera, for the entire conception, the composition, the 'montage,' the blending and superimposing of images are all accomplished in the camera. In this way I believe I have found means for furthering the evolution of the camera as a creative instrument. Much emphasis is placed on continuity and fluidity of motion. The whole film is in one 'scene' without a single moment of darkness. In Autumn Spectrum, movement is a dominant element, though nostalgia is the real theme of the film.' - Hy Hirsh.
