An Interdisciplinary Reading of Entr'acte

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceeding with ISSN or ISBNChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter explores the film Entr’acte (Francis Picabia and René Clair, 1924) as an interdisciplinary project that combines cinematographic and choreographic ideas, bringing together artists from the visual arts and film, music and dance. The film constitutes a significant project of the Parisian avant-garde of the 1920s and is driven by a strong conceptual framework. To explore the ideas and dynamics that informed Entr’acte, the chapter focuses on Paris in the first three decades of the twentieth century and considers relevant discourses which underpinned cultural, social and economic developments. The chapter investigates the ambitions of the Parisian avant-garde and Dada in particular, in order to situate Entr’acte within the tight net of affiliations and differences.
