Lettrism, the neo-avant-garde movement that developed in the immediate post-World War II period in France, invested itself quickly and intensely into cinema. Betwen 1950 and 1952, Isidore Isou, Maurice Lemaître, Guy Debord, Gil J. Wolman and their comrades abuse and reconfigure the aesthetics and technical equipment of the film, to the point of denying and going beyond the context of the dark screening room: dissociation between sound and image, direct intervention on the film, transformation of the screen and the introduction of performative elements into the cinema experience are just some of their contributions.
The aim of this study is to highlight the repercussions of their filmic approaches, which are not without affinities with the subsequent practices of the happening, expanded cinema, conceptual art and free games of language.
François Bovier is a lecturer and researcher in the History and Aesthetics of Cinema Section at the University of Lausanne and a research fellow at the ÉCAL/École cantonale d'art de Lausanne. Co-founder of the film review Décadrages, he has published numerous studies on avant-garde and experimental cinema, video art and artists' films, militant cinema and the relationship between film and poetry, visual arts and performance art.
