Key figures and basic concepts such as the use of jarring dissonant and disassociated soundtracks, scratched and bleached celluloid and the place of Lettrist Cinema in avant-garde history are discussed and illustrated with black-and-white stills. Founded by Romanian-born French poet, film critic and artist Isidore Isou in Paris immediately after World War II, the Lettrist movement took its inspiration from Dada and Surrealism. The movement remains active to this day, having lost none of the aesthetic or ethical radicalism seeded by Isou in 1951 with his revolutionary film Venom and Eternity, which became the movement's visual manifesto, influencing such avant-garde filmmakers as Stan Brakage. 610 20 Mouvement lettriste. 610 27 Mouvement lettriste.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01980100 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Experimental films|zFrance. 650 0 Experimental films|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Surrealism in motion pictures. 650 0 Avant-garde (Aesthetics) 650 0 Conceptual art. 650 0 Motion pictures|xHistory|y20th century. 650 7 Avant-garde (Aesthetics)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00824280 650 7 Conceptual art.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00872980 650 7 Experimental films.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00918452 650 7 Motion pictures.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 Surrealism in motion pictures.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01139549 651 7 France.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Kinsella, Clodagh,|etranslator. 700 1 Birnbaum, Daniel,|d1963-|eeditor. 700 1 West, Kim,|eeditor. 956 20171025 |bpfmcq|cCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20171105 994 C0|bCUY
