Pantenburg, Volker2019-02-222019-02-2220159789048527557https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/4300There is a tension between the requirements of theoretical abstraction and the capacities of the film medium, where everything that we see on screen is concrete: A train arriving at a station, a tree, bodies, faces. Since the complex theories of montage in Soviet cinema, however, there have continuously been attempts to express theoretical issues by combining shots, thus creating a visual form of thinking. This book brings together two major filmmakers - French New Wave master Jean-Luc Godard and German avant-gardist Harun Farocki - to explore the fundamental tension between theoretical abstraction and the capacities of film itself, a medium where everything seen onscreen is necessarily concrete. Volker Pantenburg shows how these two filmmakers explored the potential of combined shots and montage to create "film as theory."engKinoFilmtheorieMontage <Film>AvantgardeNouvelle VagueFrench New Waveavant-gardecinemafilm theoryessay filmpaintingmontage791Harun FarockiJean-Luc Godard10.25969/mediarep/355810.5117/9789089648914https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/5774
