The Spirit of Film – The Road to Casablanca via Béla Balázs

22 June 10

The focus of the exhibition was the work of early filmmaker, writer and film theorist Béla Balázs. It also marked the publication of the first English translation of his early work: Béla Balázs: Early Film Theory, edited by Erica Carter and translated by Rodney Livingstone (Berghahn Books 2010).

The exhibition was inspired by Balázs’s perspective on film, including his insights into the close-up, montage, and the role of the moving image in transforming human perceptions of the world.

This BAFTA exhibition was supported by the University of Warwick, BFI, Screen and the Hampstead Authors’ Society.
