Experimental sound montage; no actors
Plot
A work made only of sound, assembled from Berlin street sounds recorded on an optical soundtrack, with no images. Known in German as Wochenende.
Sinekatalog’s take
Walter Ruttmann's experimental piece is a film without images, assembled from Berlin street sounds on an optical soundtrack. Playful and rhythmic, it is a pioneering sound collage and an important early work of radio art.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
