Cinepoiesis, or cinema of poetry, strikes us as a strange
combination, a phrase we initially read as an oxymoron. Poetry is
often associated with the abstract and the evocative, while cinema
suggests the concrete and the visible. Yet, various visual media
use strong and often contradictory images, whose symbolic force and
visual impact stimulate the public's attention. Abstract and
emblematic images surround us, and the poetic nature of these
images lies in the way they speak beyond their apparent limits and
stimulate connections on a subjective level. A prosaic world like
the contemporary one, though, no longer seems to hold a place for
poetry. We are inundated by the need to tell and to be told, the
need to build our lives through narratives. But it is precisely
here, in this contemporary landscape, that the cinema of poetry
attempts to establish a space for itself, exchanging the productive
and industrial apparatus for the poetic stimulus of a sensory
experience. A Grammar of Cinepoiesis is a theoretical and practical
guide to the cinema of poetry, to its tools and forms. It examines
how the language of a "cinema of poetry" works both in its
theoretical foundations and in its modes of representation, and how
it takes shape in the exemplary practice of Italian authors such as
Pier Paolo Pasolini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Federico Fellini, and
the more recent Franco Piavoli and Matteo Garrone.
