Description

A collage film utilizing both representation and non-representational images, optical color effects, multiple exposures, etc. Produced in Paris in 1960 by one of the leaders of the Experimental Film Movement. 'With his last film, La Couleur de la Forme, Hirsh demonstrated his mastery of the optical printer by creating an optical rhyme in which the images reverse colour and motion in a series of almost subliminal overlaps.' -David Curtis, 'Experimental Cinema.'
