Max Reichmann – Das Blumenwunder AKA Miracle of Flowers (1926)

One of the most exciting novelties of cinema: the possibility to present objects in technical-aethetical pointed ways, like the time-lapse in “Das Blumenwunder” that turn ones own garden into a distant planet.
Sponsored by the chemical corporation BASF (Badische Soda and Anilin Factory), “Das Blumenwunder” – a hybrid of “Kulturfilm” and “Lehrfilm” (instructional film) — set out an almost impossible task, to give time-lapse cinematography a “feature length” run.
A new spin on the art of macroprojection, the “film symphony of the life and death of flowers” premiered on February 25th, 1926 in Berlin’s Piccadilly-Theater with an original music score and elaborate frame narrative.

Das Blumenwunder made its mark on German audiences as a new and innovative Gross-Kulturfilm. Many critics raved at the appearance of the film’s new star, “time-lapse cinematography” and also praised the film’s Metropolis-like frame narrative featuring a plant fairy named “Flora”, played by Maria Solveg.
