Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hans Richter, interviewed here, actually helped *found* Dada in Zurich—he's not just a talking head, he's a primary source.
Released at the height of 1960s counterculture, this film weaponized Dada's anarchic spirit for a new generation of anti-establishment youth.
