Pour un cinéma latin: Ricciotto Canudo, entre l’avant-garde et l’Action Française

Abstract

The author demonstrates that french italian intellectual Ricciotto Canudo’s (1877-1923) thematics on latinity are especially owe to the Action Française but are also closely related to others fascitic authors and theoriticians like Francisco Homen Christo. Canudo, in some of his written works, commits to an intellectual cooperation between latin contries (including South America) wich purpose would be to cinetically show the life and the genius of latin contries as well as to compete wtih the others great national cinematographies
