«De la caverne à la pyramide» is a collection of writings by Vachel Lindsay on cinema, published by Klincksieck in hardback (352 pages, in French).
Vachel Lindsay, poet and pioneer of film criticism, defends cinema as an art with its own language: he links it to parietal painting, the Platonic myth and Egyptian hieroglyphs, and proposes it as an invitation to «think in images» in the service of the American national imaginary.
Brings together writings from 1914-1925; this edition incorporates articles by Lindsay published in The New Republic in 1917 and extracts from a second unpublished manuscript.
For readers interested in the history of cinema and the origins of film theory and criticism.
