Guy Debord - Das filmische Gesamtwerk

Werner Rappl,Wolfgang Kukulies,Alexander Horwath,Guy Debord

In his films Guy Debord (1931-1994) worked according to the following principle: do nothing you should, do everything you should not. Created between 1952 and 1978, all the films reflect this rule and confirm what he referred to as his detestable ambition.

Gathered in a single volume for the first time in German, this publication unites the texts of all of Guy Debord’s films in a new translation: from his first film made in affiliation with the Lettrist group led by Isidore Isou, Hurlements en faveur de Sade (1952), an alteration of black and white sequences devoid of images; to works that originated in the course of his participation in the Situationist International, Sur le passage de quelques personnes a travers une assez courte unite de temps (1959) and Critique de la separation (1961); to the adaptation of his best known theoretical work, La Societe du spectacle (1973), followed by the response to his critics entitled Refutation de tous les jugements, tant elogieux qu'hostiles, qui ont ete jusqu'ici portes sur le film La Societe du spectacle (1975) and his resume, intended as an act of closure: In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni (1978).

Texts and images are true to the French original edition and complemented by a list of sources for the quotes, Debord’s notes on his films, drafts of unrealized film projects, as well as the text of the TV documentary he coauthored, Guy Debord, son art et son temps (1994).
