Le tambour rythmique : pour un cinéma de la régression improductive

Abstract

Drawing upon Eisenstein’s theory of cinematographic movement this article relates the aesthetic principle of "rhythmic drum" that was initially devised to analyse the editing techniques of his own avant-garde productions, to three North American underground films from the 1970s, Back and Forth by Michael Snow, Serene Velocity by Ernie Gehr and Epileptic Seizure Comparison by Paul Sharits.
