Summary
Tunnels gliding past the train window, the passion for speed echoing through the metallic heart of Paris, and boats carried along by the current of the Seine. Henri Chomette captures the rhythm of motion and the Machine Age in black-and-white frames during the early days of cinema. Drawing inspiration from the nature of silent film, this experimental documentary reconstructs the flow of Parisian streets through a mechanical choreography. Conveying the Futurist movement’s vision of modernity through a network of iron rails, the film offers a mechanical experience for those who wish to lose themselves in the city’s streets.
