Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The complex stance toward modernity taken by 1920s avantgarde cinema, as exemplified by five major films.In the 1920s, the European avantgarde embraced the cinema, experimenting with the medium in radical ways. Painters including Hans Richter and Fernand Lger as well as filmmakers belonging to such avantgarde movements as Dada and surrealism made some of the most enduring and fascinating films in the history of cinema. In The Filming of Modern Life, Malcolm Turvey examines five films from the avantgarde canon and the complex, sometimes contradictory, attitudes toward modernity they express: Rhythm 21 (Hans Richter, 1921), Ballet mcanique (Dudley Murphy and Fernand Lger, 1924), Entr'acte (Francis Picabia and Ren Clair, 1924), Un chien Andalou (Salvador Dal and Luis Buuel, 1929), and Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929). All exemplify major trends within European avantgarde cinema of the time, from abstract animation to cinma pur. All five films embrace and resist, in their own ways, different aspects of modernity.
