The French Avant-Garde of the 1920s
The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York
Part of 'An Auteurist History of Film' exhibition, a two-year screening cycle of the museum's film collection.
Running parallel to the development of narrative cinema and actuality filmmaking was an experimental track. Influenced by the trick cinema of Georges Melies and his rivals, it was particularly prominent in France during the Surrealist period. Many of the experimenters gradually moved into mainstream commercial cinema, while other artists ceased dabbling in the movies at all. This program provides a sampler of their work. All films made in France. Musical accompaniment by Ben Model.
