Cinema feeds us
Cinema makes us feel normal
and part of this world
Cinema is a dream,
Cinema is our subconscious,
Cinema is everyday life
« I know, there is private life,
but our life always ends stuck somewhere.
Movies are more harmonious than life.
Movies have no problems or slowing down
but go straight as trains in the night. «
(La Nuit Américaine, François Truffaut, 1973)
Back to the glorious 1920s when cinema had just started, and movies were all silently black and white works of art. Charlie Chaplin made cinema popular worldwide. His comic tragic Charlot made him an icon who endures up to the present time. The era of silent cinema was one of the most creative periods in cinema history.
In not much more than 30 years, a new visual vocabulary was invented, explored to the fullest and even deconstructed. Genres formed as the medium was used for entertainment, politics, education, propaganda and experimentation.The challenge of visual storytelling without sound pushed filmmakers to find new ways to tell stories and communicate ideas.
