The March 2016 issue of artpress (n°431, p. 78) features a review of the book 'Élie Faure. Le cinéma, un art nouveau' published by L'Âge d'homme. The text imagines a cinephile deeply immersed in cinema but lacking access to art history, thus unaware of Élie Faure's (1873-1937) significance as a mediator between the two fields. The review highlights Faure's role in elevating cinema to an art form.
