Moods of the Sea (1942)
Directed by John Hoffman, Slavko Vorkapich
Overview
A recently unearthed experimental documentary of the crashing sea set to Mendelssohn’s “Fingal’s Cave.” An example of the filmmakers’ “new cinema” theory which held that film should be more like music than literature. This film is based solely on its arrangement of images.
Length 10 minutes
