Voice: Memorandum for a History of Cinema: 1902 - "Journey to the Moon". 1920 - "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari". 1924 - "Entr'acte". 1926 - "Battleship Potemkin". 1928 - "Un Chien Andalou". 1931 - "City Lights". Birth of Guy-Ernest Debord. 1951 - "Treatise of Venom and Eternity". 1952 - "The Anti-Concept". - "Howlings in Favour of Sade". Just as the projection was about to begin, Guy-Ernest Debord was supposed to step onto the stage and make a few introductory remarks. Had he done so, he would simply have said: 'There is no film. Cinema is dead. No more films are possible. If you wish, we can move on to a discussion.'

worth the try

if you notice that this film will be projected near you, check it out.

is really hard to comment or explain this experiment. i think it was a extraordinary exercise for my mind and for everyone's mind in the cinema. thats why i strongly recommend to watch this one. and please watch it in a big screen with a lot of people. everyone will think that there are some problems with the projector or player but don't worry because this film is "like that".

i saw this film alongside 2 documentary shortcuts: "Sur le passage de quelques personnes à travers une assez courte unité de temps" and "Critique de la séparation".
