Florian Yuriev wasn't a filmmaker as such, even if moving images and the interaction of lights and sounds did play a major part in his art - which one could describe as the most expanded of cinema. Yuriev was a painter who developed a whole theory of color and musicality. He was an architect whose most famous creation was also used as a movie hall, and was designed to host what he called Light Theatre performances. And as a true man of the 20th century, he did, of course, shoot films - yet without ever feeling the need to finish them.
