Description

Against Cinema brings together for the first time in Spanish all the screenplays written by Guy Debord, between 1952 and 1978.

Debord's life was marked by cinema and by the will to negate it in every possible way; "With and Against Cinema ," as one of his articles in the journal *Internationale Situationniste* was titled. His first public action was the screening of a film without images, and his last was to deprive the world of the possibility of seeing his films, which actually happened toward the end of his life. His most renowned work, *The Society of the Spectacle *—before it became a book— "was a film project of a new genre." The subterranean influence of Debord's film work, which nourished both the French New Wave and the practices of militant cinema and video activism from the 1970s to the present, was possible even though he did not aspire to carve out such a position in the history of art forms. Quite the contrary: if anything characterized this reluctant foray, it was the will to destroy cinema by its own means: that the plundering of reality practiced by the camera be replaced by the plundering of images recontextualized in a new montage.
