Encyclopédie audiovisuelle du cinéma Season 1 Full Episode Guide

Episode 13 - Les Années 20: De l'impressionnisme au cinéma pur
First Aired: December. 17,1978

Cinema owes a lot to this experimental laboratory that was the French avant-garde between 1919 and 1924. Based on this observation by Henri Langlois, Claude-Jean Philippe shows that these filmmakers (Louis Delluc, Marcel L'Herbier) accused their difference, like the impressionist group. On the other hand, at the end of the 1920s, everyone dreamed of a "pure cinema".

Episode 1 - Les inventeurs ou la rencontre des photographes et des fantômes
First Aired: September. 24,1978

Claude-Jean Philippe sees the invention of cinema as the meeting of photographers and ghosts. This film chronologically follows the progress of two inventions: Joseph Plateau's discovery of the persistence of retinal images, the perfection of his phenakitiscope, and Nieppe's invention of photography. The Lumière brothers' cinematograph is the culmination of this double discovery.
