Art cinématographique et sciences physiques : l’œuvre de Jean Epstein
No full textCinematographic Art and Physical Sciences : Works of Jean Epstein.
Jean Epstein (1897-1953) was one of the major figures of the French Avant-Garde in the twenties. He also marked his time by important theoretical work. Until the late forties, Epstein directed movies and spread his thinking in papers, theoretical books or conferences records. In his writings, he made frequent references to scientific theories to support his reasoning, especially Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. For Epstein, cinema and physical were fields that could be thought together. It is this back-and-forth between art and science, cinema and physics, that the author analyzes from his writings and then, from two film sequences extracted from Finis Terrae (1929) and Le Tempestaire (1947).Jean Epstein (1897-1953) fut l’une des figures majeures de l’avant-garde cinématographique française dans les années vingt. Il marqua également son époque par une œuvre théorique extrêmement importante. Jusqu’à la fin des années quarante, il réalisa des films et déploya sa pensée dans des articles, des ouvrages théoriques ou encore des conférences retranscrites. Dans ses textes, il faisait souvent référence à des théories scientifiques, en particulier la théorie de la relativité restreinte (1905) et la théorie de la relativité générale (1915) d’Albert Einstein, pour parfaire ses théories. Pour Epstein, cinéma et physique étaient des domaines que l’on pouvait penser ensemble. C’est ce va-et-vient entre art et science, entre cinéma et physique, qui sera ici analysé à partir de ses écrits et, ensuite, à partir de deux séquences de films extraites de Finis Terrae (1929) et du Tempestaire (1947).Vally Hélène.

Great Directors: Jean Epstein
No full textJean Epstein was one of the key directors in late silent-era French cinema, and was associated with directors such as Louis Delluc, Germaine Dulac, Marcel L’Herbier and Abel Gance in the movement known variously as 'French Impressionism', the 'narrative avant-garde', the 'first cinematic avant-garde', and the 'pre-war French school'. This article seeks to understand Epstein's approach to filmmaking through an examination of his concept of 'photogenie'

Jean Epstein
Get PDFFilmmaker and theoretician Jean Epstein profoundly influenced film practice, criticism and reception in France during the 1920s and well beyond. His work not only forms the crux of the debates of his time, but also remains key to understanding later developments in film practice and theory. Epstein' s film criticism is among the most wide-ranging, provocative and poetic writing about cinema and his often breathtaking films offer insights into cinema and the experience of modernity. This collection - the first comprehensive study in English of Epstein's far-reaching influence - arrives as several of the concerns most central to Epstein' s work are being reexamined, including theories of perception, realism, and the relationship between cinema and other arts. The volume also includes new translations from every major theoretical work Epstein published, presenting the widest possible historical and contextual range of Epstein' s work, from his beginnings as a biology student and literary critic to his late film projects and posthumously published writings.Filmmaker en -theoreticus Jean Epstein beïnvloedde sterk de filmpraktijk, -kritiek en -receptie in Frankrijk en ver daarbuiten tijdens de jaren twintig van de vorige eeuw. Zijn werk vormde niet alleen de kern van de debatten in die tijd, maar is ook een sleutel voor het begrijpen van latere ontwikkelingen in de filmpraktijk en -theorie. Epsteins filmkritieken zijn uiteenlopende, uitdagende en poëtisch geschreven teksten, en zijn vaak adembenemende films bieden belangrijke en moderne inzichten in de cinema. Dit boek verschijnt op het moment dat een aantal van de thema' s die centraal staan in het werk van Epstein opnieuw wordt onderzocht, met inbegrip van de theorie van de waarneming, realisme en de relatie tussen cinema en de andere kunsten. De kritische essays vormen een waardevolle inleiding tot het creatieve oeuvre van Epstein

Jean Epstein dans le fonds Blaise Cendrars de la Bibliothèque Nationale suisse
Get PDFLe fonds d’archives Blaise Cendrars conservé aux Archives littéraires suisses de Berne témoigne d’une relation souvent évoquée mais peu documentée des rapports que le poète d’origine suisse a entretenus avec le futur cinéaste Jean Epstein. Cet état des lieux propose de faire le point sur les documents du fonds Cendrars en lien avec Jean Epstein. Peu nombreux, ces documents nous renseignent pourtant sur la courte période durant laquelle les deux hommes se fréquentèrent au tournant des années 1920.The Archives Blaise Cendrars kept by the Swiss Literary Archives in Bern are a source of information about the frequently discussed but poorly documented relationship between the Swiss-born poet and the future filmmaker Jean Epstein. This inventory presents and comments upon the documents related to Jean Epstein in the collection. These documents, although few in number, nevertheless give us a hint about the short period during which both men met at the turn of the 1920s
