The Medieval Mind (1969)

1969 · Short film · 25 min

Synopsis

Points out the tensions and conflicts of the middle ages, and shows how the architecture of the cathedrals reflects the uneasy balance of opposing forces with their soaring columns, arches and flying buttresses. Explains how this left a permanent mark on Western civilization. Concentrates on the training, discipline, and ingenuity of the mime artist through events in Tony Montanaro's life off and on the stage. Photographed during a class in his studio, on the road to a performance, and prior to and during the performance itself.
