NOUS SOMMES D’ACCORD AVEC TOUT CE QUI A LUTTÉ ET LUTTE ENCORE DEPUIS LE DÉBUT DU MONDE - Nicole Brenez

INTRODUCTION TO LETTRIST CINEMA

“In October 1963 I met Gil J., and we schlepped to the scrap-metal market. [...] It was there that I came up with the following definition of Lettrism:
Lettrism: 1) technical definition: smithy, arsenal, place where unused weapons are stored; 2) volcanology: rumbling that annouces certain volcanic eruptions.
Examples: 1) 'Thanks to L., insurgent groups were armed' - 2) 'The people of Herculaneum did not pay heed to L.' [Acad.]”
— Jean-Louis Brau, 1972
