Manifesto das Sete Artes: The Philosophical Birth of Cinema as Art

Canudo believed film was a "divine impulse" that married the precision of science (the camera/projector) with the ideals of art. Manifesto Das Sete Artes Ricciotto Canudo.pdf

• Synthesis argument: Canudo organizes his claim around the idea that cinema integrates prior arts’ strengths into a new, higher-order art.
• Appeal to modernity: The manifesto frames cinema as emblematic of the modern industrial age—dynamic, mechanical, and future-oriented.
• Emphasis on perceptual innovation: Movement and time are foregrounded as cinema’s essential qualities, displacing static visual arts.
• Polemical tone: The manifesto counters conservative critics who reduced cinema to novelty or spectacle.
