Description
Summary:This article proposes a short history of the Centre artistique et technique des jeunes du cinéma (CATJC), commonly known as the ancester of the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC). This short history prepares the ground for an analysis of CATJC’s technology, in the specific understanding of the term for midcentury France. The CATJC, it is shown, sees the necessary development of a film culture that goes hand in hand with the development of a technical culture. This modernizing project emerges from the collaborative study of cinema’s productive specificity, inherited from reflections on “technical civilization” by 1930s French non-conformists.
