Life

For his abstract animated film Dance of Colors , which premiered in 1939 , he used music from Amilcare Ponchielli's La danza delle ore . Fischinger commented on the film: “Man must learn to see musically.” The dance of colors was produced using the Gasparcolor process and premiered on February 27, 1939 in Hamburg's Waterloo Theater. The main film that ran there was the final chord with Willy Birgel . Hans Fischinger's colored light concert was the last abstract film to be shown in the Third Reich . The film testing agency characterized the film as follows: "The film shows a play of colors and shapes that move according to the music without any representational content." The film was discussed by Georg Anschütz in the Film-Kurier in the article From Pater Castel to Hans Fischinger - On the history of the non-objective sound film .
