Historia del cine experimental

Rate this book
In questo testo l'autore propone la sua interpretazione del contributo che il cinema sperimentale ha fornito all'affermarsi del cinema come arte autonoma, dotata di un suo statuto specifico. Il filo conduttore dell'analisi, che dalle opere ispirate alle avanguardie storiche si snoda fino ad arrivare alle produzioni underground di fine anni '60, è infatti il rapporto, apparentemente paradossale, fra le diverse forme d'arte e il cinema sperimentale. Quest'ultimo infatti, nella sua ricerca di un "cinema puro", affrancato da ogni elemento che non sia filmico, riesce a realizzare le proprie qualità più specifiche proprio attraverso le strutture e i linguaggi dell'arte, della musica, della letteratura.

About the author

Jean Mitry

48 books9 followers
Jean Mitry (7 November 1907, Soissons, Aisne – 18 January 1988, La Garenne-Colombes) was a French film theorist, critic and filmmaker, co-founder of France's first film society and later of the Cinémathèque Française in 1938.

The first lecturer of film aesthetics in France, Mitry was one of the first intellectuals responsible for, in the words of Dudley Andrew, "taking film studies out of the era of the film club and into that of the university". His definitive works are largely considered[according to whom?] to be The Aesthetics and Psychology of the Cinema and Semiotics and the Analysis of Film.

Mitry was one of few major film theorists who actually worked with film production. He was editor of Alexandre Astruc's short film Le Rideau Cramoisi (1953) and director of two films of his own, Pacific 231 (1949) set to Arthur Honegger's music and Images pour Debussy (1952) set to the music of Claude Debussy.
