4 editions published in 2005 in English and held by 668 libraries worldwide Originally produced as individual silent motion pictures in France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United States, these twenty-five short films epitomize the avant garde movement of the 1920's and 1930's. The films are drawn from the collection assembled by Raymond Rohauer, one of the nation's foremost proponents of experimental cinema, founder of the Hollywood Film Society, and longtime programmer at the Coronet Theatre in Los Angeles. Rohauer helped preserve and promote avant-garde cinema, and these films from his personal archive are some of the most influential and eclectic short films made during the 20th Century.

L' invitation au voyage Einladung zu einer Reise

)
3 editions published between 1927 and 2003 in Undetermined and French and held by 5 libraries worldwide This experimental narrative, a free visualisation suggested by several lines of the eponymous Baudelaire poem, is described by Abel as "a strangely apt companion to the more straightforward En Rade but in a very different mode and context". Leaving her husband and child one evening a woman meets a marine officer in a cabaret. He tells her of his tropical sea voyages, but leaves her when he notices that she is married. Her dreams dashed, she returns home. The film is a visual orchestration, without intertitles, of looks, gestures and objects, mainly in close shots, that were originally accompanied by music appropriate to the cabaret, a representation of the woman's subjective moments that become juxtaposed with those of the officer just before she leaves the cabaret.
