Science Is Fiction: The Films of Jean Painlevé

Taglines

Overview

The mesmerizing, utterly unclassifiable science films of Jean Painlevé (1902-89) have to be seen to be believed: delightful, surrealist-influenced dream works that are also serious science. The French filmmaker-scientist-inventor had a decades-spanning career in which he created hundreds of short films on subjects ranging from astronomy to pigeons to, most famously, such marine-life marvels as the sea horse and the sea urchin.

Overview

Jean Painlevé (1902-1989) var en fransk biolog och pionjär för populärvetenskaplig film. Han inledde sin bana inom filmen som skådespelare, men var snart mogen att göra egna filmer. Han började med ”L’oeuf d'épinoche: de la fécondation à l'eclosion” 1927, en film riktad till forskare som i mikroskopisk detalj redogör för hur spiggens ägg utvecklas från befruktning till kläckning. För att spela in scener under vattnet kapslade Painlevé in sin kamera i en specialutformad vattentät låda, utrustad med en glasplatta som tillät kamerans lins att nå igenom. Totalt gjorde Painlevé mer än 200 vetenskaps- och naturfilmer.
