A near fine hardcover rare book with near fine DJ. GREEK, ENGLISH"Many things have changed over the past 15 years since the publication of the book, mainly in the life of the Greek farmer. But beyond these changes, the timeless nature, the deep entity of women's existence, the connection, the hugs of yesterday with today remain unaltered. It's the moments of birth, sadness ... It's the look of the girl from Benaki Museum that "marries" with the look of the eternal Aphrodite. Close and long, modern and endless. These thoughts were shared with the people of the publishing house MILITOS who took over the re-enactment of the book, offering their knowledge and experience. I thank them all wholeheartedly. Special thanks to Director Anna Economidis, whose help has been valuable. I want to thank from the heart of the National Archaeological Museum and the Benaki Museum, sources of precious material. In particular, the director of the Benaki Museum, Angelos Delivorrias and his colleagues, who helped with this… Read More

Artsept was a little-known periodical published in 1963 by the writer and film critic Raymond Bellour. Due to financial problems only three issues were published. With an editorial board consisting in particular of Raymond Bellour, Jean Cayrol, Armand Gatti, Jean-Louis Leutrat, Jean Michaud and Bernard Pingaud, Artsept's mission was to manifest film as the seventh art, embracing all other arts in their discourse. Each issue was dedicated to a specific topic, the first one to "real cinema", the second to "cinema and truth", and the last one to "love".

On the cover of the first issue of Artsept appear the names of Cayrol, Colpi, Durand, Gatti, Marker, Resnais, and Varda.

Each issue contains a comprehensive filmography and bibliography of the filmmakers who appear as authors or subjects in Arstept.
The remarkable texts from contributors like… Read More
