The Square, The Line And The Light: Form And Frame: De Stijl And Cinema
Saturday 10 April 2010, at 3pm
Tate Modern Starr Auditorium
Bankside, London, SE1 9TG

Philippe-Alain Michaud, theorist and curator of film at Centre Pompidou, presents a talk on the De Stijl aesthetic and cinema. He discusses how Neo-plasticist cinema reconciled the strict anti-naturalism of De Stijl with the ‘atmospheric’ reality of film recording, and how this built a hypothesis for a ‘neo-reality’. The lecture will include a screening of Ernie Gehr’s seminal 1991 film Side/Walk/Shuttle.
