Berlin: Symphony of a Great City by Walter Ruttman

This silent film Berlin: Symphony of a Great City [Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Grosstadt] was directed by Walter Ruttman, and released in 1927. While documenting a day of Berlin, Ruttman deploys aesthetic camera angles, actively creating his image of the metropolis (Crang, 1998).
