CCC timeline 2008

@ 6/07/2009 11:30:00 PM By HarryTuttle

A few helpful word definitions :

UNSPOKEN (French = non-dit)
  • un- (prefix, contrary to) + spoken (concerning speech, especially opposed to written)
  • expressed without speech; especially because words would be inappropriate or inadequate; not made explicit; not formally articulated or stated; implicit or understood; tacit.
TACIT (French = tacite)
  • understood or implied without being stated; indicated by necessary connotation though not expressed directly; expressed or carried on without words or speech; implied or indicated (as by an act or by silence) but not actually expressed; done or made in silence; implied, but not expressed; silent.
  • Not derived from formal principles of reasoning; based on induction rather than deduction.
IMPLICIT (French = implicite)
  • From French or from Latin implicitus, past participle of implico (“to infold, involve, entangle”)
  • Implied indirectly, without being directly expressed. Capable of being understood from something else though unexpressed.
  • Contained in the essential nature of something but not openly shown. Involved in the nature or essence of something though not revealed, expressed, or developed.
  • Volonté implicite: celle qui se manifeste moins par des paroles que par certains actes ou faits habituels. Qui, sans être exprimé en termes formels, résulte naturellement, par déduction et conséquence, de ce qui est formellement exprimé.

CONTEMPLATIVE (French = contemplatif)
  • an act of considering with attention : study
  • persistently or morbidly thoughtful
CONTEMPLATION (French = contemplation)
  • c. 1225, from Old French; from Latin : contemplationem = "act of looking at," from contemplari "to gaze attentively, observe," origin : "to mark out a space for observation" (as an augur does).
  • a long and thoughtful observation; a calm lengthy intent consideration
  • The act of the mind in considering with attention; continued attention of the mind to a particular subject; meditation; musing; study; the act of regarding steadily.
C.C.C. (Contemporary Contemplative Cinema)
  • This is not a proper label, it's a "working title", a simple descriptor of the object studied.
  • Contemporary : means concerning filmmakers still working in this field today.
  • Contemplative : see above
  • Cinema : the particular field of cinema intentionally self-limited by the 2 preceding adjectives.


This blog is obviously biased. There is no intent to cover the entirety of filmic forms, or historical timeline. Whether this limitation, temporal and formal, is arbitrary or pertinent, it is meant regardless as a defining characteristic of this blog. Please understand and respect this clear self-imposed constraint.

The films and auteurs included in this trend are underexposed and understudied, so this blog will not waste time and space covering other subjects and outside films, which have been, or still are, amply discussed and studied elsewhere.

This is not the only prism through which these films can be looked at (these films may eventually belong to other trends/aesthetic movements for other aspects of their content/mise en scène), and maybe it is not the most enlightening perspective to study them, but this is what has been defined for this blog for the time being, and this is the specific aspect of these films that will be considered on this blog.
