Rezumat
Benjamin Fundoianu / Benjamin Fondane and the world of cinema
Since he was young, Benjamin Fundoianu / Benjamin Fondane was interested in the aspects related to the theatre’s world. In Romania, he succeeded to create the theatre “Insula”, but the activity of this troupe of actors didn’t last long, because of the material difficulties and also because of the anti-Semitism flourishing in that period.
In France, Fondane continues this project and he writes some cine-poems, in 1928. Those texts describe the cruelty of the reality, offering a way out of that world: the liberation of the terror of the logic and of the common syntax.
In 1930, Fondane starts his collaboration with the well known Paramount studios. Disillusioned with language, he writes about the silent movie. In 1933, Dimitri Kirsanoff prepares for the filming of Rapt, with a screenplay by Fondane.
In Argentina, together with the Aguilar brothers, (Paco, Pepe, Ezequiel and Elisa) and with the producer Miguel Machinandiarena, Fondane produces the movie Tatarira, a musical with comical accents and Dadaist style, lost and unfound.
We also emphasise the importance of his critical texts about the problems concerning the theatre and the dramaturgy in the larger meaning of the word. He also was preoccupied by the theoretical and the practical aspects of both silent and synchronised recorded sound movies.
Keywords: contemporary literature, B. Fondane, dramaturgy, pure theatre, silent / sound recorded movies
