Plot

Adebar is the first of Peter Kubelka's 'metric films', in which every element of the composition is precisely ordered and in relation to the gestalt.

Sinekatalog’s take

A tightly structured experimental short where silhouettes dance in rigorous rhythmic patterns. It is hypnotic and mathematical, a fascinating curiosity for avant-garde film enthusiasts.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
