Need an Entr'acte

An entre'acte is the interval between the acts of a play, often taking the form in music or a change in tone. Here Rene Clair made a film for the interval of Francis Picabia’s new ballet, Relâche, at the Théâtre des Champs- Elysées in Paris in 1924. Amazing to think of Duchamp, Picabia, Eric Satie and Rene Clair all working together and to see such inventive use of cinema. Pioneering use of montage and camera trickery this piece is an inspiration and proof of the power of collaboration. FOr further info: http://filmsdefrance.com/FDF_Entre_acte_rev.html
