Film arts

...These serials, especially Feuillade's works, are enlivened by the "fragments of life" shot entirely on location, and Iijima Tadashi points out in his book Avant-garde Film Theory and Avant-garde Art (1970) how important it is in film history that these serials maintained the vitality of realism that was lacking in "Films d'Art," which was shot on stage sets.
