Young Oceans of Cinema
( Jean Epstein )

James June Schneider
2011 - 68 min - HD - Couleur et Noir & Blanc - France

"Young Oceans of Cinema" is a portrait of French avant-garde filmmaker Jean Epstein (1897-1953) focusing on his work in Brittany, and particularly its islands, where he tested his profound aspirations for cinema. With rare film excerpts, photos, and articles, as well as interviews with Jean Rouch and Epstein's sister Marie, the film offers an introduction to the theories of this fiercely independent director, often cited as "the first philosopher of cinema."
