Tossup

This filmmaker cut from a collection of white marks on film to a shot of white flowers blowing in the breeze in his “cinepoeme” Emak Bakia, a work that also included sculptures by Picasso. This filmmaker and his student Lee Miller rediscovered and popularized a technique of briefly flashing light on developing film. This artist directed Le Retour a la Raison and served as cinematographer for Fernand Leger and Dudley Murphy’s Ballet Mecanique, both of which include images of (*) Kiki de Montparnasse. A brief scene (10[1])in Rene Clair’s Entr’Acte shows this artist playing chess with Marcel Duchamp, who this artist often photographed for Duchamp’s alter ego Rrose Selavy. For 10 points, name this pioneering Dada photographer who was highly involved and influential in early surrealist film. ■END■
