Sisters
“Cinema is painting presented as music.” Jean-Luc Godard
An educational film for film students about the connection between two closely related art forms—painting and cinema. This film presents striking examples of painting's reminiscences in cinema: it collects famous examples of shot compositions by world cinematographers, drawing on the compositions of famous paintings. Of course, the main idea here is not to replicate or mechanically transfer a painting to the screen, but to convey through cinema the atmosphere and beauty of the painting that inspired the director.
