Dream

Overview

In the 1920s Horacio Coppola studied modern languages, photography and film, set up the first cinema club in Buenos Aires, and travelled to Italy, France, Spain and Germany, where he trained with the Bauhaus photographer Walter Peterhans. After visiting Vienna, Budapest and Prague, still hotbeds of secessionist art, Coppola returned to Berlin and made the experimental film Traum (Dream, 1933) with the theatre director Walter Auerbach, a nice short influenced by the French & German surrealists.
