Nasceu em 1935. É um dos melhores documentaristas do moderno cinema americano. Um poeta apaixonado das culturas regionais. Seus filmes saboreiam velhas tradições, laços familiares, a música local e também a boa comida. Mas Les Blank não é apenas um etnógrafo. É também um peregrino. Um camera-man de muito talento, Blank costuma dizer que filma em estado de "transe": "Eu bebo muita cerveja, para obliterar o Eu autoconsciente, objetivo". Seus filmes, a maioria entre 30 e 50 minutos, são tecidos pela música e enrolados por uma profunda atmosfera nostálgica. São filmes saborosos, de muita energia, contrastando com a própria figura muito tranqüila de Blank. Ele admite: "Não gosto muito de filmar. O trabalho é extenuante, o equipamento quebra, os custos são altos, e transar as pessoas é um grande problema". Sua produtora é um negócio de praticamente duas pessoas: Blank como fotógrafo e Maureen Gosling no som, acrescidos ocasionalmente de pessoal técnico.

creio que existe também uma corrente Feuillade que utiliza maravilhosamente o fantástico de Méliès e o realismo de Lumière", declara Alain Resnais. É, com efeito, mergulhando no coração da realidade cotidiana que Feuillade – sem dúvida um dos maiores artistas da história do cinema – sabe dar credibilidade aos personagens mais inverossímeis e às situações mais delirantes. Porque, para ele, a realidade cotidiana é apenas uma máscara atrás da qual se dissimula uma outra realidade, bem mais forte, bem mais verdadeira, bem mais real... bem mais bela: a realidade do maravilhoso, do onírico, do fantástico. A realidade cinematográfica, em suma. "Admiro em Feuillade, continua Alain Resnais, este instinto poético prodigioso que o permite fazer surrealismo como respiramos. É graças à sua intuição que devemos as extraordinárias seqüências do arranjo "máquina de costura e guarda-chuvas sobre uma mesa de dissecação". Em "Fantômas", o fuzilamento no meio dos tonéis é tão bela quanto a luta de plumas. O jardim de "Tih- Minh" é tão inesquecível quanto o salão da pensão, enquanto o Grande Vampiro conta a história do seu avô ou quanto um religioso que instala o canhão num quarto de hotel. E todas essas imagens de rua, carros misteriosos cruzando caminhos desertos, parques com suas cercas, fachadas de hotéis particulares ... " Louis Feuillade foi, depois da guerra de 1914, um dos cineastas mais ilustres do mundo com as séries Fantômas (1913), Les Vampires (1915) e Judex (1916), os três cilcos presentes nesta seleção da 24a Mostra. Fez também Tih-Minh (1918) e Barrabas (1919), entre outros, com seus heróis que se colocaram lado a lado de grandes mitos populares e que atraíram milhões de espectadores. Menos conhecidos, porque uma grande parte foi perdida e porque de outros só são conhecidos os roteiros, suas comédias e "vaudevilles" não devem ser negligenciados, muito pelo contrário. Encontramos, no universo cômico, as mesmas situações absurdas e de suspense que fizeram o seu sucesso no universo da aventura. No esquecimento depois do cinema falado, só os surrealistas declaravam por ele uma enorme admiração. A sua reabilitação começou depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial graças a Henri Langlois, restaurador de seus filmes desde a fundação da Cinemateca Francesa, e a cineastas como Georges Franju (co-fundador da Cinemateca), Alain Resnais, François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Luis Buñuel e muitos outros... Depois do lançamento em vídeo nos Estados Unidos de Les Vampires, sua obra mais famosa juntamente com Fantômas e Judex, a revista Time elegeu Les Vampires o segundo melhor filme de 1998 depois de O Resgate do Soldado Ryan, de Steven Spielberg. Depois da restauração digital e sonorização musical, a série completa dos cinco Fantômas foi lançada em DVD no início de 2000. Jacques Champreux
