Tusalava (1929)

Animation
Release Date: 1929, December 1
Directors: Len Lye
Countries: United Kingdom
Production: The Film Society

Overview:

With the screen split asymmetrically, one part in positive, the other negative, the film documents the evolution of simple celled organic forms into chains of cells then more complex images from tribal cultures and contemporary modernist concepts. The images react, interpenetrate, perhaps attack, absorb and separate, until a final symbiosis (or redemption?) is achieved.
