Claudine Eizykman : Intégrale des films (1969-1981)

Cinédoc Paris Films Coop’s “Experimental Film Collection” DVD collection aims to publicize major works from the vanguard and experimental cinema heritage. Claudine Eizykman, who passed away in June 2018, was the co-founder of Paris Films Coop in 1974 and Cinédoc in 1979, of which she was president until 2018. A Filmmaker and theorist, and an essential figure in the French experimental revival of the 1970s, she left behind an important cinematographic body of work made up of a dozen films, which are among the most original and aesthetically successful of the experimental movement of the years 1970-1980 and which remain to be discovered or rediscovered by many.

This is the first DVD collection of Claudine Eizykman’s complete international films with a French booklet translated into English.

This integral collection brings together the three parts of the film Bruine Squamma, the films V.W Vitesse Women, Moires Mémoires, Lapse and Operneïa, particularly representative of her very singular style. Also included on the DVD are her co-directed films: L'Autre Scène and Maine Montparnasse as well as a film bonus, Melba Film, directed by Dominique Willoughby on the production of the multicolored magazine for technological arts, Melba, edited by Claudine Eizykman and in which Guy Fihman, Prosper Hillairet, Dominique Willoughby, Patrick de Haas and Pascal Auger were active participants, with 5 issues published between 1976 and 1979.

The extreme originality of her cinematographic work is marked by a complexity in the very sophisticated construction of images. Thus, all of her films together make it possible to rediscover this French avant-garde who has played a key role in the evolution of French experimental cinema.
