Spadkobiercy awangardy: Geoffrey Jones
Heirs of the Avant-garde: Geoffrey Jones

Summary/Abstract: The work of Geoffrey Jones (1931-2005), an English maker of short, sponsored films about industry, is not widely known among ordinary viewers, nor is it well known among experts. This is so despite the fact that during the period of greatest activity, in the 1960s, his films caused so much interest that they were shown in cinemas, and the best known – “Snow” (1965) – was even nominated for an Oscar. Bartosz Kazana considers Jones’ films to be examples of masterful and innovative use of film editing, based upon ideal synchronization of image and sound. Kazana places the work of Geoffrey Jones in the historical context, and shows how it was inspired by avant-garde and documentary films of the 1920s and 1930s.
