Summary/Abstract: The text presents Germaine Dulac’s ideas on cinema and film form, as discussed in her writings from 1919-1937. As a filmmaker and member of the avant-garde movement, Dulac addressed the issue of cinema as a new art form, and its original aesthetics. As an active director, lecturer, writer and editor of texts, she followed and commented on current discussions on abstract film, the role of color, sound, and new film professions that had to be defined. Moreover, Dulac was interested in film education, educating the audience, as well as in the development of film market and film industry.
