Len Lye (1901-1980), was a New Zealand born filmmaker and artist, who was a maverick in experimental film. He would often paint, dye, and scratch patterns, shapes and lines directly onto celluloid film, to create vibrant visual experiences. His work has inspired other filmmakers such as Norman Mclaren, Stan Brakhage, and more recently Edgar Wright's 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World'.
