Film or Performance: Nicholas Ray’s We Can’t Go Home Again
What is an experimental film? What is the “original� film to be restored in the case of an experimental film?
What is an experimental film: - at the cross-road between cinema and visual arts - rooted into 1920s avant-garde - outside the canon of mainstream, commercial, ‘standardized’ cinema - experimental in terms of content and technology For those who want to know more: EYE on Art every Tuesday in EYE!
What is the “original” film to be restored in general: - the director’s (“author”) version - the version that was first shown to a public - the film as it is found in the archive - the performance (re-enactment) of its original screening
