Gene asked re "Walking from Munich to Berlin" - the 16mm print distributed by Canyon Cinema is listed at 4 mins; in Moritz's Fischinger biography, Optical Poetry, in the filmography the film is also listed as 4 mins. I believe it is slightly shorter than 4 mins and that he 'rounded up' to the nearest half-minute, as he often did.
This version (just short of 4 mins) is on the Re:Voir PAL Fischinger Vol. 2 videotape distributed in Europe, and on the old (out of print) Fischinger Vol. 2 videotape formerly distributed in the US. Light Cone (Paris) should have a 16mm copy of this film as well.
Kate is on this list so I suspect we'll hear from her soon re her project.
For those who are not aware, The Fischinger Archive has a website, www.oskarfischinger.org, though portions are under construction including the filmography page.
