Les cadrages (…) ils constituent le premier aspect de la participation créatrice de la caméra à l’enregistrement qu’elle fait de la réalité extérieure pour la transformer en matière artistique. Il s’agit ici de la composition du contenu de l’image, c’est-à-dire de la façon dont le réalisateur découpe et éventuellement organise le fragment de réalité qu’il présente à l’objectif et que se retrouvera identique sur l’écran. Le choix de la matière filmée est le stade élémentaire du travail créateur au cinéma : c’est le deuxième point, l’organisation du contenu du cadre qui nous occupe maintenant. Marcel Martin, Le langage cinématographique (1955)

Pensamiento, art, photography, cinema, architecture

El cine y la arquitectura comparten una historia de encuentros. El séptimo arte ha necesitado de la arquitectura, del marco construido, como telón de fondo de las acciones desarrolladas en la pantalla. El cine ha permitido establecer una mirada diferente sobre el territorio artificialmente construido en el que los hombres habitamos, una mirada subjetiva, intencionada y distante. El diccionario aborda la posibilidad de diseccionar intencionadamente el trabajo del arquitecto y del cineasta mediante un posible conjunto de términos comunes.

Philip Glass compose between 1991 and 1996 a trilogy of operas based on three homonymous films by Jean Cocteau: Orphée (1950), La belle et la bête (1946) and Les enfants terribles (1950).

A book that, dodging the historical-documentary point of view that characterizes research in other disciplines, works from the particular perspective of the designer, with a professional look related to the existing with a certain greed for appropriation, a more technical than historical curiosity, interested in unveiling the way in which the problems were solved from the logic of the project, analyzing the visual and constructive decisions adopted to build the film.

art, cinema

The first recognized presence of women in the universe of cinema was in the field of interpretation. Two other works, however, were from the beginning covered for very different reasons mostly by the female world in a much more anonymous way: the editing and the control of continuity during filming and postproduction. Although, without a doubt, the area in which this necessary recognition of the important role of women in the world of cinema becomes more relevant is in the field of filmmaking.
