[@heliostronaute]

[@homogenic]

[@homogenic]

[@patriciohirshellsalazar5975]

Thanks you a lot for your content. I hope youre having a really nice day!

Great video, I wonder if you would consider making one about Jean Epstein and The Relativity of Logic and The Intelligence of Machine. Thanks.

[@filmandmediastudieschannel]

I really like The Intelligence of the Machine. I have not read The Relativity of Logic and am honestly not familiar with it. Curious what it's all about...
But ti's unlikely I'll make a video about them any time soon given they're not texts I'd likely teach or reference in teaching.

who is this professor? what school?

[@nada_e8941]

Could you specify where David Bordwell says this? I've been looking for the source... Is it Poetics of Cinema?

[@filmandmediastudieschannel]

it's a bit of a deep cut - it's in his dissertation, which I've never been able to find. I'm fairly certain that I found this quotation in Christian Keathley's book Cinephilia and History

[@nada_e8941]

@@filmandmediastudieschannel Yep! At the end of page 97. And the source is: David Bordwell, “French Impressionist Cinema: Film Culture, Film Theory
and Film Style” (Ph.D. thesis, University of Iowa, 1974)

Ist for example the Vertigo Effekt (dolly zoom) a photogènie.

[@Laughingsundrop]

Photogénie is what separates film from theater
