Tanz der Farben (1939) is by no means a lost film. Created by Hans Fischinger, Oskar’s younger brother, it is considered the last abstract film made in the Third Reich. And it is a worthy swan song. Oskar was experimenting with volume, texture, he tended to have a certain graphical ‘dominant’ in each film. Hans preferred thin lines, sharp angles – which created an effect of a more rough and tense movement with a ‘space resistance’. Tanz der Farben indeed resembles a non-figurative universe living by constantly changing laws. The Gosfilmofond print is quite unique – it is in fact three prints spliced into one, and these prints differ: Hans Fischinger was trying several colour solutions for the same musical sequence.

In a living room, four contemporary couples from the time the film was shot dance a waltz under the direction of a violinist (Linder). They begin a minuet and their costumes change in a sudden. A man enters and seems interested in what he sees, casts a spell and everything disappears. Transforming himself into the devil, the visitor takes the violinist with him to hell, where he creates a large piece of silk out of a cauldron. The fabric unrolls, revealing a young woman in a silk dress that starts dancing the serpentine. While she dances, other women join in a synchronized ballet, before all of them vanish into bursts of flames.
