Artist's Profile: Oskar Fischinger Early in his career, Oskar Fischinger found work as a drafts- man and engineer in Frankfurt. In 1922, he left Frankfurt for Munich, where he co-owned an animation company and produced many experimental films. He made more films in Berlin in the 1930s, but after Hitler came to power, he left Germany for Hollywood. In Los Angeles he worked for Paramount, MGM and Disney. After World War II, a series of Fischinger's films were screened at the Art in Cinema Festival at the San Francisco Museum of Art, and he became an influential figure in the West Coast experimental film movement.
