Les films ‘Magicks’ de Kenneth Anger
Paris Expérimental, 1999, French 15.8 x 1.2 x 24 cm, pag. 140
” Mon approche de l’art est celle des Egyptiens, je veux travailler pour l’éternité. ” (Kenneth Anger)
L’auteur de cet ouvrage élucide les sources iconographiques qui structurent la fascinante imagerie caractéristique de l’univers de Kenneth Anger. Pour cela, il a mis en évidence les relations étroites qui unissent l’œuvre du cinéaste aux écrits ” magicks ” de l’occultiste anglais Aleister Crowley. Il a pu ainsi établir la véritable signification des symboles mystérieux, des rituels étranges et des personnages hiératiques qui hantent ce cinéma. Le lecteur s’apercevra qu’il se trouve face à une logique rigoureuse qui offre une autre perception du monde et attribue les plus grands pouvoirs au cinéma.

Maria Klonaris & Katerina Thomadaki
MANIFESTES 1976-2002
40 pag. 22 x 17 cm, Text in French
2003, Paris Expérimental
Multidisciplinary artists (cinema, video, photography, installation, performance, sound) and theoreticians, Maria Klonaris & Katerina Thomadaki have been practicing and theorizing since the 70’s the “Corporeal Cinema”.
Pioneers in France of the projection environments and the crossing of the media, they are very early in the intersection of experimental cinema and plastic arts. The texts gathered here trace their struggles through which political gaze on the feminine and contestation of the “dominant” cinema converge towards the question of the body.

Peter Kubelka
1992, Paris experimental
16 X 24 cm, 178 pagine
French
€ 150,00 (Nuovo- New)
This book is about Peter Kubelka, the Austrian “cinema perfectionist” (Stan Brakhage). The edition is conceived and published by Christian Lebrat (Paris Experimental), with the texts of C. Lebrat, Peter Kubelka, Jon Kessler, Stefano Masi and Hermann Nitsch.
Born in 1934 in Vienna, Austria, Peter Kubelka invents in the end of 50’s the metric cinema, which is for cinema what is Schoenberg’s serial music for music. His cinematographic work will influence, in a dicesive way, the american independent cinema of the 60’s and 70’s. In 1966, he directs Unsere Afrikareise, his ultimate masterpiece, the “first sonorous film” in the history of cinema. Co-founder of The Anthology Archives in New York and of the Oesterreichisches Filmmuseum in Vienna, professor in the Staedelschule of Frankfurt, since 1980 Peter Kubelka conducts the chamber music orchestra Spatium Musicum and, for about a couple of decades, regularly gives conferences in Europe and in the United States about his vision of cinema, cuisine and music as forms of art. Two unpublished interviews of Peter Kubelka and texts of Jon Kessler, Peter Kubelka, Christian Lebrat, Stefano Masi and Hermann Nitsch.

Jonas Mekas
Jonas Mekas Conversations, Letters, Notes, Misc. Pieces etc.
Vilnius: Lithuanian Art Museum, 2005. First edition. Paperback.
Paperbound 8vo in dustwrapper. 263 pp. Illustrated with black and white and color photographs. A fine copy in fine printed dustwrapper.
€ 200,00 (As New)
Conversations, Letters, Notes, Misc. Pieces etc. is a collection of interviews and conversations with Jonas Mekas. As well as a selection of essays, letters, film stills, and photographs from selected authors, and by Jonas, himself.
Mekas insists that he is not a filmmaker, but rather a “filmer,” preferring to capture the essence of the moment before him to staging an event. He explains, “In reality, all my film work is one long film which is still continuing…I don’t really make films: I only keep filming. I am a filmer, not a film-maker. And I am not a film ‘director’ because I ‘direct’ nothing. I just keep filming.” – Genevieve Yue in “Fragments of Paradise: The Films of Jonas Mekas”.
