From Joseph Vogelsang and his mysterious peep-box to Hollywood
blockbusters and Netflix, R.A. Savoldelli's survey of cinema and
film is based on practical experience - he was once the enfant
terrible of Swiss cinema - and years of contemplation and study. He
examines the difference between film as the 'hypnotic monster'
referred to by the Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini, and the
art of film that Rudolf Steiner aspired to. The author depicts the
historical development of cinema from its origins, paying
particular attention to science fiction - from Star Wars to The
Matrix - and influential filmmakers such as Eric Rohmer, Andrei
Tarkovsky and Pasolini. As a scholar of anthroposophy, Savoldelli
gives a comprehensive assessment of Rudolf Steiner's attitude to
film. In addition to frequenting the silent cinema of his time,
Steiner made several statements about the new artform in his
lectures, letters and private discussions. The author examines and
interprets these and complements them with commentary on Steiner's
attempt to produce a film on the theme of reincarnation and karma
as well as his explorations with Jan Stuten of 'light-show art'.
Other topics in this penetrating study include: 'Basic
philosophical stances in the pioneer period of media studies';
'Steiner's prophetic warnings about a technocratic form of
civilization that will destroy humanity'; 'Nostalgia for the
art-house cinema that emerged in the 60s'; and 'The project
discussed by Alexander Kluge and Andrei Tarkovsky for a film based
on Rudolf Steiner's From the Akashic Records'. Anyone interested in
the cinematic arts will find a treasure of stimulating ideas and
new thought in this unique book.
