XXV: HALLER^1: Ciné Salon Fall 2021 honors the remarkable film historian, film archivist and photo documentarian Robert A. Haller (1942-2021). http://anthologyfilmarchives.org/about/haller

Cinéma Pur, French Experiments, 1921-1931

ENRICO CAMPORESI IN PERSON

Film scholar Enrico Camporesi will talk about the late Robert Haller and the early French experimental film movement, Cinéma pur, and screen seven short French art films during the conversation. The films represent different challenges confronted by the early filmmakers to define qualities unique only to cinema. The late Robert Haller would have adored tonight’s presentation by the noted young Italian scholar Camporesi for Haller spent his career extolling the virtues of visionary film experimentalists and the importance of film preservation to save the works.

“The cinema is not limited to the representative mode. It can create, and has already created a sort of rhythm...Thanks to this rhythm the cinema can draw fresh strength from itself which, forgoing the logic of facts and the reality of objects, may beget a series of unknown visions, inconceivable outside the union of lens and film. Intrinsic cinema, or if you prefer, pure cinema – because it is separated from every other element, whether dramatic or documentary, is what certain works lead us to anticipate…” —Henri Chomette
