A Tribute to Jean Benoit-Levy
JEAN BENOIT-LEVY : HU MAN IST AND CRAFTSMAN
IT WAS thro ugh the ioftuence of his uncle, Edm ond Be noit-Levy. a scholar a nd pioneer in the film industry. and the author of some remarkable works of literary c riticism, that Jean Benoit-Levy was initiated into the cine ma. From the o utset his inventive and inquiring mind led him to become absorbed in the many face ts of cinematographic c rea tion : productio n d irection editing. In 1928 he fou nded a production unit for whic h he directed many scientific and c ultural d ocumen taries The distinctive style which characterized these certainly contr.buted to the general e nric hment of mind and the broadening of culture . It was a quality wh ich Jean Benoit-Levy demonstrated thro ughout his caree r. His human awareness as a directo r, however. led him to make a number o f imponant fictional film s focussed on the human situation . and revealing a dee p psycho logical s ignificance During the era of silent films. he dis tinguis hed himself by bringing to the screen s uc h film s as A mes d ' Enfa11ts and Peau de Peche in w hich he displays a n extremely skilful technique and. above all. a vast knowledge of c hild psychology.
Fro m 1930 o nwards. Jean Benoh levy devoted his efforts to the science of film technology and the making of s pectacular films. A true documentaris t. he pro jected himself into the Fine Arts (music. dancing. painting) and the professions: a man o f t he c inema be bro ught to life many mas terpieces deserving of the highest me rit a lmost all of which have become classics of the French screen: La Maternell e. Hile11e. ltto, La Mort Du Cyg,w. Altit ude 3200. He was. mo reover. one of the fi rst to make films o f value in medical and s urgical llelds Gripped by the huma n scene, he was fascina• ted by those a spects o f it which co uld be e xpressed th~ough the medium of the cinema Not conte nt merely w ith t he ' prac tice' of his an he is the author of the extremely ins tructjve Les Grattdes Missiom.· Du Ci11e:11a. published in Canada. His passion for teaching took him t o the United States where he was prnfessor a nd lecturer before tak_ing on the management of the Audio-Visual services of the Un ited Na tions in 1946. After his return to France. Jean Be noit-Levy becam.: the chief delegate t o the Internat ional Council of Cinema and Television, an organization which he had helped t o fo und
His unt imely death in 19S9 - he was an activ.: 7 1 - s hocked his many friends a nd co lleagues 71
a like. all or whom were tied lo him bv bonds of gratitude and loyalty. Jean Benoit-Levy once wrote that ..the great mission of the cinema is simply th i~: to educate.·· He lived up to this ideal thro ugho ut his e ntire life. One could sense in him. in additio n 10 a wonderfu l goodne •. the irrcpres ible urge rn erve. - to be useful. His sen itivity made h im touchy and even irrita ble at time : nevertheless. o ne could no t b ut love him. He was a true pioneer in all that concerned cinematogra phy, and the Festival of Cork pays hi m a well-earned tribute in pre ·enting a programme. neces arily ynopsized. b ut neverthele revealing h i' d iverse gifts. thu ·prcading the ram e o f an a rtb t who i one of the mo t ho ne t a nd appc:aling in French cinema. The great lesson of Jean Beno it-Levy is not lost and in a maste rpiece ucb as La Mt11 em el/,, it wiU live fo rever as the mo t "triking and warm-hearted example of what can be done by a creative artist who under ta nds - and loves - chi ldre n.

Unwilling to curb h is dislike fo r anything he con)iders pompous, Billy Wi)der as a H ollywo?d neigh bour is pa id the compliment of an unea y d1trust by some or the movie mo,guls_ in the cin_ema capital. o one know when t his T ill Eulens p1~gel of Hollywood will kick up his heels and publicly embarras an inflated dinner jacket.
His per onal life seems dedicated to co nfo und ing the Ho llywood pallern In a land where the s uc• cessfu l buy ever larger mansion in Beverly Hill . Bel -Air. o r Brentwood . Billy Wilder sold his bo ~ e and moved into a cooperative apan ment of SL'< roo m and then broke down walls to reduce the num ber to t wo.

He had been a repo rter in ienna. whe re he wa~ born. and had worked in the Eden Hotel in Berlin before becoming a film writer.
In Hollywood he knew hunger. ~n~wing little Enalish and nothing of t he s tudio 111d1fference 10 writers hi:. life wa a painful disaster ami~st 1he luxurie of o thers Writing assignments failed to materialize.

to producers fo r an o ppo rtunity to oiler guidanc-: concerning his scripts. o nly to be t old he was impedi ng production. Where upon he became his own directo r with Brackett :lS producer .
T hough Wilder bas now become his own prod ucer. and ca n thu protect his r ights a both directo r and write r he continues to rebel and dissent. He i o devotee of foreign an films - a heresy in Hollywood - as proof that the aduh movie audience b maturing a nd increasing in number H e becomes ind ignant over sel f-styled critics who prnttlc over pho tography without understanding the nature of cinema. " T hey get excited about the o rt of s tuff I could get b) shooting through a wet marz.oh."' he sa id.
