Europa is a 12-minute anti-fascist film made in 1931 in Warsaw, Poland by surrealists Stefan and Franciszka Themerson. The film is based on Anatol Stern's 1925 futurist poem Europa. It uses collages and photograms, and articulates the sense of horror and moral decline its makers were witnessing. The film, while long thought to have been lost, is considered an avant-garde masterpiece.
Directed by Stefan Themerson and Franciszka Themerson

I'm not a big fan of experimental editing, but the atmosphere you breathe in the film is really appropriate for the era in which it was shot.
