The time from 19 17 to 1928 lasted about ten years. Because of the obvious correspondence with all kinds of modern artistic thoughts prevailing in Europe at that time, an artist may be influenced by many kinds of thoughts at the same time, so there are many avant-garde films with staggered members, mainly impressionism, expressionism and surrealism. And there are pure movies, street movies, indoor movies and other movie ideas and practices. ?

The main purpose of avant-garde movement is to expand and explore the possibility of film from the perspective of image and movement, so that film will eventually become an independent new art.

However, the representatives of the "avant-garde" movement all set out from the form and aimed at themselves, so they did not produce great social effects.

As an art movement, many experimental films' exploration of expression techniques and lens techniques has played a certain role in promoting the development of film art.

Faction:

1, German Department

In Germany, which was defeated in the First World War, various political and literary thoughts were unprecedentedly active, and many artists and intellectuals questioned the traditional values and aesthetic principles. It also includes the understanding of young film art.

They believe that film must get rid of the shackles and influences of other ancient arts and become an independent art, which is only based on its own characteristics. The most intuitive feature they see in movies is that they can make still pictures move.

Therefore, several painters first conducted beneficial experiments. For example, the abstract painter H. richter photographed a series of changes and jumps of Rhythm 2 1 (192 1), Rhythm 23 (1923) and Rhythm 25 (1923) with black, white and gray squares and rectangles.

V Egelin, a Swedish Dadaist painter, took diagonal symphonies in Germany 192 1 and parallel lines and horizontal lines in Germany 1924.

These short films, which generally do not exceed 15 minutes, do not include characters and story lines, and are based on visual images with regular changes and changes in lines.

From 65438 to 0925, German avant-garde films entered a new stage. For example, W Ruthman, who was influenced by Egeland, combined recorded scenes with abstract expressions to create a new documentary.

The difference between these two stages is that the first stage emphasizes the "pure" sense of motion of the film, while the second stage emphasizes the role of editing.

2. Legal system:

In the 1920s, there were obvious differences between the early and late stages of this art movement in France (1917-1928). Previous theoretical exploration and artistic practice mainly focused on the understanding of light; It tends to be abstract after 1925.

Therefore, the French film art movement before 1925 is called "impressionism", and the French school after 1925 is called avant-garde. However, impressionist films are generally regarded as the prelude to avant-garde films, and some even classify them as avant-garde and regard them as the first stage of the movement.

The avant-garde film movement in the 1920s was the first film movement in the world film history. The French avant-garde film movement began with the artistic creation principle of L Delluc, who demanded a complete break with the commercial films at that time and explored the characteristic beauty of people and things with the help of films.
