Line 13: Artists [[Hans Richter (artist)\|Hans Richter]], [[Jean Cocteau]], Marcel Duchamp, [[Germaine Dulac]], and [[Viking Eggeling]] all contributed Dadaist/Surrealist shorts. [[Fernand Leger]], [[Dudley Murphy]], and Man Ray created the film ''[[Ballet Mécanique]]'' (1924), sometimes described as [[Dadaism\|Dadaist]], [[Cubism\|Cubist]], or [[Futurism\|Futurist]]. Duchamp created the abstract film ''[[Anemic Cinema\|Anémic Cinéma]]'' (1926). [[Alberto Calvalcanti]] directed ''[[Rien que les heures]]'' (1926), [[Walter Ruttmann]], [[Carl Mayer]], and [[Karl Freund]] directed ''[[Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis]]'' (1927), and [[Vsevolod Pudovkin]] filmed ''[[Man with a Movie Camera]]'' (1929), experimental city-symphonies of [[Paris]], [[Berlin]], and [[Moscow]], respectively. The most famous experimental film is generally considered to be [[Luis Buñuel]] and [[Salvador Dalí]]'s ''[[Un chien andalou]]'' (1929). Hans Richter's animated shorts, [[Oskar Fischinger]]'s abstract films and [[Len Lye]]'s [[General Post Office\|GPO]] films would be excellent examples of more abstract European avant-garde films.
