One of the most important avant-garde movements of postwar Paris was Lettrism; which crucially built an interest in the relationship between writing and image into projects in poetry; painting; and especially cinema. Highly influential; the Lettrists served as a bridge of sorts between the earlier works of the Dadaists and Surrealists and the later Conceptual artists.Off-Screen Cinema is the first monograph in English of the Lettrists. Offering a full portrait of the avant-garde scene of 1950s Paris; it focuses on the film works of key Lettrist figures like Gil J Wolman; Maurice Lemaicirc;tre; Franccedil;ois Dufrecirc;ne; and especially the movements founder; Isidore Isou; a Romanian immigrant whose ldquo;discrepant editingrdquo; deliberately uncoupled image and sound. Through Cabantilde;ass history; we see not only the full scope of the Lettrist project; but also its clear influence on Situationism; the French New Wave; the New Realists; as well as American filmmakers such as Stan Brakhage.
