Biography
Louis Delluc (1890–1924) was a pioneer of French cinema whose screenplays and criticism advocated for film as a serious art form, championing the poetically expressive potential of the medium.
His early loss was mourned by contemporaries who recognized a visionary mind, yet his words and films continue to inspire, honored at Bagneux by generations of cinephiles.
