In 1930 Walter Ruttmann, director of Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt, made a film without images. Weekend was recorded on optical sound film for Berlin radio, an eleven-minute montage of a weekend in the city: work, travel, voices, the countryside, the return. Decades before musique concrète, it is the first piece of cut-and-spliced sound collage, and in many ways the ancestor of everything that followed.
It was broadcast in June 1930 and presented at the independent film congress in Brussels that December. This edition is part of the Metamkine Cinéma pour l'oreille series of mini-CDs, curated by Jérôme Noetinger with covers by Christophe Auger, issued in 1994.
