Step 1: Pitch Video



I was always interested in the way that an art-movement, mostly apply in painting, can be reproduced into the art of film-making. So I decided to take the the three art-movements that I often find myself been inspired of (Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism) and translate them into the language of film.


CUBISM (1908-1914):

- The Cubists broke from centuries of tradition in their painting rejecting the single viewpoint.
- The movement was conceived as "a new way of representing the world".
=> The initial phase of Cubism (Analytic phase 1907-1912) attempted to show objects as the mind, not the eye, perceive them.

("Weeping Woman, 1937, Pablo Picasso)



DADA
(1916-1920's):

- Characterized by a spirit of anarchic revote. Dada revelled in absurdity, and emphasized the role of the unpredictable in artistic creation.

( "ABCD", 1923-1924, Raoul Hausmann)




SURREALISM (1920-1930's):

- A movement dedicated to expressing the imagination as revealed in dreams, free of the conscious control of reason and convention.
- The movement's principal aim was " to resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality".

("Anatomie du désir", Hans Bellmer)
