This was a stop-motion animation film made as an advertisement for a cigarette company. It did not use the pin screen that Alexander Alexeieff is world famous for.
It is not that interesting but it is worth noting that Oscar Fischinger and others also did related films. It seems that the cigarette companies were all trying to outdo each other in Europe with cigarette commercials!
Ah... the smooth taste of tobacco.
No it's not like that, really. It's just an incredible bunch of cigarettes marching around in front of a camera.
Of course to Alexeieff it helped him make a living and assumable get some commercial exposure. AND it was probably a pain in the keister to produce. So he probably wouldn't appreciate me saying that it was just a bunch of cigarettes marching around!
