The mystical body of the experimental film actor
Keywords:
Experimental film, Film acting, Mystical body, Christian iconographyAbstract
Outside the aesthetic and institutional framework of what was conventionally called classic cinematographic art, there was a thriving group of film acting performances - mostly experimental - whose aesthetic program was to take a thesis that pervades much of the acting theory to its performative dimension (theater and cinema): his holiness, possession, or mysticism. This work intends, then, to make up a genealogy of acting forms in cinema that generated this thesis of the transcendentality of the actor's work through Christian iconography, but here degraded by its surroundings marked by violence, hunger and injustice. Thus, anticlericalism and a heritage of the visual arts serve as a methodological basis for accessing this proposal of genealogical study of experimental forms of film acting.
