Historical significance and context ''Regen'' has four key elements that have cemented its place in documentary history: its place in the long career of director Joris Ivens, the Dutch Film Canon, the City Symphony film movement, and the history of avant-garde documentaries. Joris Ivens lived from 1898 to 1989 and in that time created thirteen noteworthy documentaries, whose interrelation and evolution loosely model the trajectory of documentary film as a whole. Over his career, he made art films, commercial films, political documentaries, war (and indeed anti-war) documentaries. His final film, ''A Tale of the Wind'', was an autobiographical piece contemplating the divide between realism and fantasy. Additionally, Ivens was one of the inaugural voices of Dutch Film, establishing traditio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
