Painters including Hans Richter and Fernand Leger as well as filmmakers belonging to such avant-garde 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 avant-garde canon and the complex, sometimes contradictory, attitudes toward modernity they express: Rhythm 21 (Hans Richter, 1921), Ballet mecanique (Dudley Murphy and Fernand Léger, 1924), Entr'acte (Francis Picabia and René Clair, 1924), Un chien Andalou (Salvador Dali and Luis Buñuel, 1929), and Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929). All exemplify major trends within European avant-garde cinema of the time, from abstract animation to "cinema pur." 648 7 Geschichte 1920-1929.|2swd 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 Experimental films|zEurope|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Art and motion pictures|zEurope. 650 0 Art and society|zEurope|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Modernism (Art)|zEurope. 650 7 Art and motion pictures.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00815412 650 7 Art and society.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 Experimental films.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00918452 650 7 Modernism (Art)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01024442 650 07 Avantgarde.|0(DE-588)4133965-4|2gnd 650 07 Experimentalfilm.|0(DE-588)4153359-8|2gnd 650 07 Film.|0(DE-588)4017102-4|2gnd 650 07 Experimentalfilm.|2swd 650 7 Experimentalfilm.|2idszbz 650 7 Avantgarde.|2idszbz 650 7 Filmästhetik.|2idszbz 650 17 Filmkunst.|2gtt 650 17 Avant-garde.|2gtt 650 17 Esthetica.|2gtt 650 17 Experimentele filmkunst.|2gtt 651 7 Europe.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01245064 651 7 Europa (geografie)|2gtt 651 7 Europa.|0(DE-588)4015701-5|2gnd 651 7 Europa.|2swd 651 7 Europa.|2idszbz 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 856 42 |3Table of contents|uhttp://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/ F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=022475620& line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA 956 20150402 |bpfmcq|cCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20151011 994 C0|bCUY
