Set in a future museum, the work is an extravagantly sardonic look at the colonial machine through historical and imagined objects, pop-up ads and Easter eggs. At its heart is a painting of 17th-century explorer Abel Tasman, who has returned to colonise new lands for Dutch climate refugees. A hyper-collage of epic proportions where audio follows gaze.

Be warned: This film consists of flashing images. It happens not only on the screen, but is generated in the brain. Flickering circles in complementary colours move, overlap, creating new shapes and colours. Interacting with the general structures of our eyes and nervous system, they trigger individually different irritations.

The figure 21 in the title of Hans Richter’s film is not necessarily indicative of the date of origin of this milestone in abstract moving images, which has been lost in the mists of history. The fact that “Rhythmus 21” was screened at the matinee “The Absolute Film” in Berlin in 1925, however, is documented. Rectangles move through space on fixed paths, growing and shrinking to create an illusion of depth.

Delicate lines complement the rectangles that dominate Hans Richter’s film experiment “Rhythmus 21”. It almost seems as if a nod to Viking Eggeling had sneaked into the visual worlds of this important masterpiece. The shapes break free from their rigid paths of movement, boldly slanting away from their right angles. The rhythm of the visual elements is impetuous and self-determined.

This critical analysis of the final report of the Warren Commission, who investigated the assassination of John F. Kennedy, is based on research by lawyer Mark Lane. Lane co-authored this film and published his eponymous book at almost the same time. De Antonio had studied with Kennedy at Harvard, which gave his film a personal dimension, despite his political distance to Kennedy. This may account for the argumentative, occasionally factual rigour that he and his editor Dan Drasin brought to the film. Ultimately, “Rush to Judgment” is a piece of belated legal assistance for Lee Harvey Oswald, who was declared to have acted alone and shot only two days after the assassination while in police custody, and whose legal interests were not adequately represented before the Warren Commission.
