A cinematic introduction by Jacques Rancière for the film programme 'Cinema Tells its Truth' dedicated to his book Film Fables at Smart Project Space, Amsterdam.
Rancière problematizes the notion of revolution, particularity the notion of the exception of the revolutionary moment. Ranciere asserts that there are no revolutionaries except during a revolution. (In French, no subtitles).
Ranciere on the relation between cinema, movement and truth, or more precisely between the cinematographic deployment of appearances and classical narrative logic. Examining several films, especially Hitchcock's Vertigo as a paragonistic example of the medium, Ranciere works through the shifting play between truth and Aristotelian plot.

Ranciere illuminates his concept of dissensensus where art and politics may begin. In an excerpt of a talk about the tension between the image, the fiction and the real. What kind of community are we framing with one or another sequence of images?
Ranciere starts with a reconsideration of his book "The Ignorant Schoolmaster" relating this to issues of spectatorship in the arts, in particular theater. Later he suggests that theater remains the name of the community as a living body, against representation, a set of living gestures and attitudes which stand before any form of politics.
