“I had realized that the time had come to pave the way for a new form of film editing; a new narrative form had to be discovered, had to be suggested to the film spectator. Intuitively, (sometimes recalling the early Muybridge) I had considered that if one may create a narrative by editing shot for shot (that is classic film editing), then why not consider what the commercial world had more or less abandoned and never considered, the editing of the individual film frame.”
