The General. 1926. USA. Directed by Buster Keaton, Clyde Bruckman

This two-year screening cycle is intended to serve as both an exploration of the richness of the Museum’s film collection and a basic introduction to the emergence of cinema as the predominant art form of the twentieth century. The auteurist approach to film—articulated by the critics of Cahiers du Cinéma in the 1950s and brought to America by Andrew Sarris—contends that, despite the collaborative nature of the medium, the director is the primary force behind the creation of a film. This exhibition takes this theory as its point of departure, charting the careers of several key figures not in order to establish a formal canon, but to develop one picture of cinematic history.

Read curator Charles Silver’s weekly An Auteurist History of Film posts at INSIDE/OUT, a MoMA/P.S.1 blog.

I just stumbled over theauteurs, a new glossy site where you can watch “(…) visionary films that wouldn’t fill a single cinema in Belgium for a week – not even a day”.

- Great site for you that wants to see that specific (relatively unknown) movie. There is some really great stuff, and I think there’s more to come. Spend two hours watching, browsing and reading yesterday. Here’s some of what their humorous About-section also says:

“After all, not everyone can make it to the Cannes Film Festival—especially if you are a school teacher or you live in Winnipeg (or both)—but that doesn’t mean you can’t recite all of Kubrick’s films in reverse chronological order(…)”

And finally:

“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where films come from, as long as they come from someone’s mind.

Are you in the mood for cinema? Welcome to The Auteurs.”

Go ahead and have a look, Martin Scorsese is waiting for you.

“P.S.—By the way, we’ve worked hard on the quality of the streaming and we are very proud of it… just wanted to let you know…”

IS THIS BANKSY?

6 years ago, this picture came out. Is it Banksy?

On march 5th the Banksy directed film Exit Through the Gift Shop is in cinemas here in England. “The incredible true story of how the world’s greatest Street Art movie was never made”

Rumours say that he will reveal his real identity in the film. We’re soon to find out.
