Biographical Notes in German: eigentlich Ievhen Slabchenko, geboren in der Ukraine, Ende der 20er Jahre im Kreise der französischen Avantgardisten in Frankreich tätig.

geboren in Tahantcha (Ukraine), emigriert Deslaw erst in die Tschechoslowakei, wo er mit der avantgardistischen Bewegung rum den Filmemacher Zet Molas in BerĂĽhrung kommt. 1922 ĂĽbersiedelt er nach Paris, wo er ein kurzes aber fulminantes avantgardistisches Werk realisiert, inspiriert an den Themen des Modernismus.

1927 "La Poésie des Machines" ("La Marche des Machines") in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kameramann Boris Kaufmann; 1929 "Les nuits électriques" - Die Faszination des Lichtes in den modernen Städten; etc.

Der Durchbruch des Tonfilms beendet abrupt Deslaw's Schaffen, er dreht nur noch wenige eher kuriose Experimente nach Beginn der Dreissiger Jahre. 1957 präsentiert er einen Experimentalfilm auf der Biennale von Vendig, wendet sich dann aber ausschliesslich dem touristischen Film zu. 1966 stirbt er völlig vergessen in Frankreich.

2004 widmete ihm das Centre Pompidou eine Retrospektive.


Eugene Deslaw

(Kiev, Ucraina, 1900 - Nizza, 1966)

Pseudonimo di Evgenij Slavčenko. Giornalista, regista e sceneggiatore ucraino.

Dopo aver studiato a Praga e Parigi, si dedicò al giornalismo cinematografico, collaborando a riviste specializzate. Nel 1926 fu assistente di A. Gance per il film Napoléon e nel 1927 di A. Iwanowsky per Azeff le provocateur. Ben presto si interessò all’opera dell’avanguardia cinematografica, nel cui ambito realizzò i suoi film più rappresentativi: Vieux Châteaux (1927); La marche des machines (1928); Les Nuits électriques (1930).

Successivamente si interessò del montaggio e del doppiaggio di film stranieri. Collaborò con Jacques Daroy per Vogue mon coeur (1935) e La Guerre des gosses (1936). Dopo una parentesi giornalistica durante e subito dopo la guerra, ritornò al cinema come sceneggiatore. Nel 1956 realizzò il film sperimentale Images en négatif, premiato a Venezia (Ch. Ford, voce Deslaw, in E.d.S., 1954).

Filmografia essenziale:

1927, Vieux châteaux ; 1928 La marche des machines; 1930 Les Nuits électriques ; 1931 Montparnasse ; 1932 Robots ; 1932 Négatifs ; 1936 La Revue de la rail ; 1956 Vision fantastique ; 1956 Images en négatif.

1928 La marche des machines

regia: Eugene Deslaw, in collaborazione con Boris Kaufmann

(1928, b/n, muto,10’)

Per la realizzazione di questo film, Deslaw, oltre alla decisiva collaborazione di Kaufmann, si avvalse di quelle di grandi nomi, chiamati negli anni successivi a grandi carriere: Luis Buñuel, Fred Zinnemann e Marcel Carné.

Il film è un détournement del cinema industriale, con ritmi e movimenti da catena di montaggio, tubi, rulli e acciaio in tensione. “Un buon esercizio di movimenti di forme concrete rese astratte.” (Ado Kyrou, Le Surréalisme au Cinéma)
