NAME ANNOUNCEMENT Experimental Cinema, published by the Cinema Crafters of America, is the only magazine in the United States devoted to the principles of the art of the motion picture. It believes there is profound need at this time for a central organ to consolidate and orient those individuals and groups scattered throughout America, Europe and U. S. S. R. that are working to liberate the cinema from its stereotyped symbolism. It believes the time has come for wide critical and creative support of these isolated movements not only from the point of view of the spectator but also from the point of view of the creator, and it is the intention to experiment with new forms and to introduce to the spectator and creator the leading ideas and principles of the new film world. Experimental Cinema will be a forum where the work of directors and creators such as S. Eisenstein, W. Pudowkin, Dovzhenko, C. Dreyer, Konzinstoff, Trauberg, E. Pommer, J. Feyder, B. Rahn, A. Cavalcanti, Mann Ray, M. Allegret, E. Deslaw, Pabst, J. Epstein, Rene Claire, A. Room, Lubitsch, Griffith, Stroheim, Vidor, Seastrom, Chaplin, Flaherty, von Sternberg and others will be discussed. There will also be criticism, analysis, and scenarios by internationally known men such as A. Bakshy, L. Moussinac, R. Aron, H. Potamkin, Seymour Stern, J. Lenauer, L. Bunuel, R. Desnos, R. Aldrich, Syd S. Salt, and others. Experimental Cinema as the advance guard of a new motion picture art believes it will be the nucleus of a profound and vital force toward the creation of a worldwide cinema ideology. It appeals to you to support this unique experiment. SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 A YEAR ADDRESS CITY STATE EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA 919 LOCUST STREET. PHILADELPHIA. PA., U. S. A.
