This short subject, which can be seen on Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film 1894-1941, is a collection of three dancers set to Shubert. We get images of body part, images from odd angles, images that have been optically printed to yield..... well, results.
It's always difficult to look at art films and figure out what they are supposed to mean, or even if they are just the results of the film makers trying something and seeing what the results are. Experimentation is necessary for the advancement of any art, but there is a tendency for some audiences to acclaim anything new as brilliant. I suppose the best I can do is to note that this did nothing for me, but might interest you.
