Project 'Kinomechanics' — '317th Platoon'

You're not just invited to watch a film, but to take an intensive course in the visual language of cinema through the masterpiece of Pierre Schoendoerffer. This is a unique opportunity to see the work of Raoul Coutard — the cinematographer who became a legend of the French New Wave — on the big screen, and to analyze how light, optics, and camera movement build drama without unnecessary words. You'll understand the mechanics of creating tension in the jungles of Indochina and see how black-and-white imagery exposes the hidden meanings of war. This intellectual leisure will change your perspective on cinematography forever.
