In 1923 René Clair asks writers and artists their opinion about "seventh art" and Louis Aragon replies: "I like films in which there is no philosophy or poetry. Poetry isn’t something you look for, it’s something you find."

Poet and puppet artist Pierre Albert-Birot: "The work of art begins where imitation ends. I remember the first film comedies very dimly. It seems to me that they were really creative and, what is more, dynamic, truly born of the new medium of expression put at man’s disposal."

Poet, novelist, and filmmaker Jean Cocteau: "On the first day, since people were dazzled by the invention (of cinema), the mistake began. They photographed stage plays. Gradually these plays became cinematic plays, but never pure cinema. Such progress can only be disastrous."

Fernand Léger: "In the future, I hope for this: A cinematic concept that finds its own methods. As long as the film is based on fiction or the theater, it will be nothing. As long as it uses stage actors, it will be nothing."
Tumblr media
Pierre Mac Orlan: "Cinema is the only art that can render our era literally in expressionist form, with all its secret rhythms which music has already grasped, but which the art of writing cannot render because language imposes a rigid framework that cannot be dislocated."
Tumblr media
Another impressive answer from Paul Valéry: "I think that there is a need to institute an art of pure cinema, or cinema reduced to its own means. This art should steer clear of those—theater or novel—that deal in speech."
