Compilatie films Cinema vd Attracties

v This film is a compilation of scenes from silent films

made between 1905 and 1915 that sat in storage in an Amsterdam cinema for many years. The title refers to the deteriorating nitrate film stock used in these films. Director & Writer: Peter Delpeut
v Deze films willen niet primair een verhaal vertellen;

ze zijn erop uit een visuele attractie bieden. Het concept van een cinema die attracties wil laten zien is ontleend aan een invloedrijk artikel van Tom Gunning uit 1986 (The Cinema of Attractions: Early Film, its spectator and the Avant-Garde) en komt ook ter sprake in de hoorcolleges.

v Un chien andalou (1929)

In a dream-like sequence, a woman's eye is slit open-juxtaposed with a similarly shaped cloud obsucuring the moon moving in the same direction as the knife through the eye--to grab the audience's attention. The French phrase "ants in the palms," (which means that someone is "itching" to kill) is shown literally. A man pulls a piano along with the tablets of the Ten Commandments and a dead donkey towards the woman he's itching to kill. A shot of differently striped objects is repeatedly used to connect scenes. Director: Luis Buuel Lees deze week:

A pulsing, kaleidoscope of images set to an energetic soundtrack. A young women swings in a garden; a woman's face smiles. The rest is spinning cylinders, pistons, gears and turbines, kitchen objects in concentric circles or rows - pots, pan lids, and funnels, cars passing overhead, a spinning carnival ride. Over and over, a heavy-set woman climbs stairs carrying a large bag on her shoulder. An Art Deco cartoon figure appears, dancing. This is a world in motion, dominated by mechanical and repetitive images, with a few moments of solitude in a garden. Directors: Fernand Lger, Dudley Murphy
