// The Visionary Movie: A Manifesto //
Over the past forty years the dominant art form in America has shifted from the novel to the movie. Yet for the most part, the movie--and the popular movie, in particular--is not addressed with the same level of critical analysis as the novel. The purpose of this site is to remedy that lack.
As the Russian literary theorist Bakhtin noted, the novel is the youngest of all literary media, the only literary form, in fact, that has arisen within the context of literate civilization, for all the others--the epic, the lyric and the dramatic--are pre-literate in origin.

but Film Style (part III)
Shot : mise-en-scene
ch. 5 Shot : Cinematorgaphy
6. Editing (Montage?)
7. Sound ...
http://film.vtheatre.net/doc/strawberries.html
use Bergman' shots to explain -- composition (visual ... and dynamic)
Bergman's use of sound --
Does every film have/should(?) its own style? It has its own identity.
From The Wild Strawberries to 8.5 -- http://film.vtheatre.net/doc/8.5.html
Subjective (chronotope) narrative is related to hero/character's POV.
Citizen Kane (mise and camera) -- compare with Bergman's.

Film class and my webpages
Topic: classes
Topic: classes
I thought that one page (Bergman, Tarkovsky, etc.) would be enough... But "what/which" "Bergman"?
... and I have to break "it" into topics, subjects, issues, themes !
New directory, directories?
Bergman. Title(s) -- Wild Strawberries -- what angle? Craft, Art, Theory?
And how to teach it -- Analysis, Directing ...
This process is visible at http://film.vtheatre.net
Subdirectories : I * II * III [Craft : Movies * Art : Film * Theory : Film-Philosophy]
+ doc files (docments) = titles, mostly.
forms (another directory) ... and now VIDEO !
I try to use institutional/comercial services : amazon, google, questia (lists and listing, references, biblio, books) and web 2.0 -- for linking, and etc.
webmaster, I have no time for real webpages.
