CULTURE: Intercom and Expanded Cinema

A Proposal and Manifesto By Stan VanDerBeek

I should like to share with you a vision I have had concerning motion pictures. This vision concerns the immediate use of motion pictures  or expanded cinema, as a tool for world communication and opens the future of what I like to call “Ethos-Cinema.” Motion pictures may be the most important means for world communication.

At this moment motion pictures are the art form of our time.

We are on the verge of a new world/new technology /a new art.

When artists shall deal with the world as a work of art. When we shall make motion pictures into an emotional experience tool that shall move art and life closer together. AH this is about to happen. And it is not a second too soon. We are on the verge of a new world new technologies new arts:
“CULTURE: INTERCOM" AND EXPANDED CINEMA.
