Cahiers du cinéma n°727 - November 2016

This issue of the French cinema magazine delves into the theme of video creation on the internet, exploring it through three lenses: a "politics of authors" section highlighting professional artists, filmmakers, and music video directors like Canada, Jesse Kanda, and Ryan Trecartin who use the internet as a platform; a "politics of anonymes" section showcasing the creativity of anonymous internet users, weirdos, and memers like How To Basic, Tonald Drump, and Surveillance Camera Man; and finally, a section on the "creation of forms," examining new internet genres like ASMR, glitch art, machinimas, and reaction videos. The magazine also includes an interview with video artist Jacques Perconte, a profile of musician Flavien Berger and his collaborations on music videos, a critical analysis of new films such as L’Ornithologue, Gorge Cœur Ventre, and Les Rues de Pantin, and coverage of various film festivals and industry news. Additionally, it features a section dedicated to the history of Russian cinema, a profile of repéreuse Carole Reinhard, and several articles on specific films (Deaf, Ballet).
