LOTTE REINIGER

I still can't stop watching Lotte's films.

If you haven't watched any yet, you must do so.

So simple and yet wonderfully creative:

Paper, scissors, a light box and a camera!

LOTTE REINIGER

Made in 1955 by Lotte Reiniger. Paper cut film.

Lotte Reiniger had an astonishing facility with cutting--holding the scissors still in her right hand, and manipulating the paper at lightning speed with her left hand so that the cut always went in the right direction.
