Sete Artes Ricciotto Canudo.pdf: Manifesto Das

Ricciotto Canudo’s “Manifesto delle Sette Arti” (1911–1912) is a foundational text in early film theory that argued cinema should be recognized as the seventh art. This paper summarizes the manifesto’s main claims, places it in historical and cultural context, analyzes its arguments and rhetoric, and outlines its short- and long-term influence on film theory, aesthetics, and cultural policy.

The "Manifesto of the Seven Arts" had a profound impact on the development of modern art and cinema. Canudo's ideas influenced a generation of artists, filmmakers, and intellectuals, including the likes of Sergei Eisenstein, Luis Buñuel, and Salvador Dalí.
