Florence where he studied oriental languages: Chinese and Japanese and after in
Paris. He was near all of the avantgarde: art criticism, literary aesthetics, music
and film. Canudo was a journalist,
reporter, writer and philosopher. He always considered him to be neither French

elsewhere for the fulfilment of his
cultural dreams. He was friend of famous intellectuals such as Picasso and he
influenced birth of film making industry. He is considered one of the first
intellectual with an European vision. He

most different ideologies. Canudo wanted
