| Summary: | Jean Epstein’s work seamlessly integrates theoretical reflections on the essence of cinema (photogenia, animism, lyrosophy) with film practice. Epstein’s work can be situated within the so-called “Breton School” of cinema (Renoir, Vigo), a movement characterized by a particular interest in exploring the elemental forces of the sea and ocean, often accompanied by a profound reverence for water. For Epstein, film inherently serves as an ideal medium for capturing reality, and his depiction of natural landscapes in cinematic imagery exhibits characteristics that, from a contemporary perspective, align with broader discourses on the role of the environment and its transformation. The aesthetic and cinematic qualities of his work inextricably linked with nature, reflecting the philosophical ideals he sought promote. |
